If you are interested in a bit of history………….

Just after world War II, Commercial Crystal Labs, then a division of National Lead Company (now N. L. Industries), began growing single crystal Rutile. One of the Company’s major products was titanium dioxide for use as white pigment for paint products and the Rutile Crystal was used to extensively investigate the chemical and physical properties of these titanium dioxide pigments.

For the next decade or so, Commercial Crystal Labs experimented with the synthesis of new and novel titanium oxide containing compounds and the crystallization thereof. This ensuing research resulted in a number of Patents including a materials patent in 1953 for a new crystal that does not occur in nature as a natural mineral. It was Commercial Crystal Labs that invented Strontium Titanate and holds the original Patent No. 2,628,156.

During that period, other crystals that were grown by Commercial Crystal Labs included Spinel, sapphire, CaWO4, and many others.

In 1977, the Division was acquired by its present shareholders and renamed Commercial Crystal Laboratories, Inc.
