As a mineral, it is called perovskite, named after Russian mineralogist, L. A. Perovski (1792-1856).

Sol-gel processes has been used to make a more pure substance, as well as lowering the synthesis temperature.

These compounds synthesized are more compressible due to the powders from the sol-gel process as well and bring it closer to its calculated density (~4.04 g/ml).

[2] Calcium titanate is obtained as orthorhombic crystals, more specifically perovskite structure.

[citation needed] Calcium titanate has relatively little value except as one of the ores of titanium, together with several others.
