Wolframite is an iron manganese tungstate mineral that is an important ore of tungsten. It forms grayish to brownish black crystals that are opaque with a submetallic to resinous luster. Wolframite is found in quartz veins associated with granitic intrusions. Historically, it was highly valued as the main source of the tungsten metal, which is very strong and dense with a high melting point.
