Perovskite is a mineral species with the chemical formula CaTiO3. It typically occurs as granular to prismatic crystals with a pale brown to olive color and a modest vitreous to resinous luster. The mineral can form in igneous and metamorphic environments and is often found in association with other titanium-rich phases, sometimes displaying a compact to massive habit that reflects its mineral structure.

About Perovskite
Notable specimens have been collected in Russia, the United States, Italy, and Brazil, among other locales. In some deposits the mineral appears as well-formed crystals embedded in matrix, contributing to its appeal for display and study. Collectors value Perovskite for its fundamental role in mineralogy and its clear crystallography, which helps illustrate perovskite-structured minerals and their formation conditions. While not typically sought as a high-value specimen, well-preserved crystals from classic localities remain of interest to those building a broad mineral collection.
