Uses of Scheelite-I

Uses of Scheelite:

Scheelite is an important source of tungsten,which is a strategically important metal. Scheelite is rarely cut as gemstones. But it is considered as a rare mineral specimen by collectors and good specimens can command very high prices.

Since Scheelite is a primary ore of tungsten we will add some information about tungsten. Tungsten is a very hard, silver-white to steel-gray metal with a body-centered cubic crystalline structure. In its chemical properties it resembles molybdenum.

It is sometimes called wolfram, and it's chemical symbol "W" is taken from this name. When naming compounds of tungsten, use of the name wolfram as a root is preferred. Tungsten is one of the most dense metals and has a higher melting point than any other metal. It melts at about 3,410 deg C and boils around 5,660 deg C. Pure tungsten is ductile, and wires made of it, even those of very small diameter, have a very high tensile strength.
