: But is titanium beautiful enough to be mithril? Or does that depend on the alloy?Titanium in its pure form and polished (as I am certain a ciclet or ring mail would be) is as bright as silver, and, if you like silver, rather nice to look at. It is usually mixed with vandeum or alluminum in alloys and those are generally for working purposes such as outer skins on spacecrafts or aircraft, food container liners etc. I don't know how "beautiful" it is to look at titanium in that form. -RR
