Copper Rutile is a variety of the mineral rutile, primarily composed of titanium dioxide (TiO₂), which contains significant amounts of copper, giving its distinctive reddish-brown to coppery color. Rutile is known for its needle-like crystals and brilliant luster, often found in various geological settings. Copper Rutile is considered relatively rare compared to other varieties of Rutile. The name "rutile" is derived from the Latin word "rutilus," meaning "red," which refers to its red-brown color. Copper Rutile is found in various areas across the globe with notable deposits in Brazil, the USA, Italy and Australia.

Copper Rutile forms under specific geological conditions, typically within igneous and metamorphic rocks. Rutile often crystallizes at high temperatures during the cooling of magma. In some cases, it can also form during the metamorphism of existing rocks. The incorporation of Copper into Rutile can occur when copper-rich fluids percolate through the surrounding rock, leading to the substitution of titanium ions in the rutile structure. As the magma cools or the rock undergoes metamorphism, the minerals crystallize, forming the characteristic needle-like structures associated with rutile.
