- Abstract
The article presents information on wolframite minerals. Recent thinking about nomenclature has decreed that the name wolframite (one of the principal ores of tungsten) should no longer be considered a valid mineral species as it lies approximately midway between two end members of an isomorphic series: ferberite and hübnerite. The end members can be recognized by their physical features, but although many advanced mineral collectors could provide an informed guess, only quantitative analysis can decide whereabouts in the series wolframite actually lies.
