1. Wolframite

   Wolframite is an iron, manganese, and tungstate mineral with a chemical formula of (Fe,Mn)WO4 that is the intermediate between ferberite (Fe2+ rich) and hübnerite (Mn2+ rich). Along with scheelite, the wolframite series are the most important tungsten ore minerals. Wolframite is found in quartz veins and pegmatites associated with granitic intrusives. Associated minerals include cassiterite, scheelite, bismuth, quartz, pyrite, galena, sphalerite, and arsenopyrite. This mineral was historically found in Europe in Bohemia, Saxony, and Cornwall. China reportedly has the world's largest supply of tungsten ore with about 60%. Other producers are Spain, Canada, Portugal, Russia, Australia, Thailand, South Korea, Rwanda, Bolivia, the United States, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

1. wolframite

   Wolframite is a black to brown mineral that is the chief ore of tungsten. It is a combination of the iron and manganese tungstates, ferberite and hubnerite, and has a specific gravity that is very high for a nonmetallic mineral. It is a valuable source of tungsten, a metal used in various applications such as light bulb filaments and radiation shielding. Wolframite derives its name from the German 'wolf rahm' meaning 'wolf cream.'
