Wolframite is an iron manganese tungstate mineral with the chemical formula (Fe,Mn)WO₄. It is the chief ore of tungsten, a metal represented on the periodic table as W (Tungsten), atomic number 74. Wolframite crystallises in the monoclinic system, commonly forming tabular to bladed crystals with a dark brown to black submetallic lustre.

This specimen comes from the renowned Panasqueira Mine in Portugal, one of the world’s premier localities for well-formed wolframite crystals. The mine is celebrated for producing exceptional mineral combinations, with wolframite often found alongside quartz, fluorapatite, siderite, and cassiterite. With a hardness of 4–4.5 on the Mohs scale and its metallic brilliance, wolframite is a striking addition to any mineral collection and a historically important source of tungsten for industry.
