Permanence

Strontium titanate is inert and stable. Because of its clarity in pure form, it has been used for manufacturing imitation diamonds.

History

It was once believed that strontium titanate does not occur in nature. It was synthesized before natural deposits were discovered. It occurs naturally as the mineral tausonite.
