Could be magnetite.
Did you check with a magnet?

Hi Kalim,

Looks like it could be Rutile. Check the color of it's streak as well as Jose's sound advice on whether or not it's attracted to a magnet. Good luck.

Ron

I agree with Ron, rutile was my first thought. See: [www.mindat.org]

rutile

Then I think Ron is right (as almost allways!): rutile

Greetings to all.
