Scheelite is a calcium tungstate mineral with the chemical formula Ca W O 4.It is an important ore of tungsten (wolfram). Scheelite is originally named after Swedish chemist Carl Wilhelm Scheele (1742–1786).
Tungsten (also called wolfram) [14] [15] is a chemical element; it has symbol W and atomic number 74. It is a rare metal found naturally on Earth almost exclusively as compounds with other elements. It was identified as a distinct element in 1781 and first isolated as a metal in 1783.
In 1904 and 1905, veins of the tungsten ore scheelite were discovered at a site east of the Randsburg gold mine. Operations at the site were funded in part by Bernard Baruch and operated by the Atkins-Kroll Company, who organized the Atolia Mining Company in 1906. [1] [2]: 30
The discovery of superhard tungsten tetraboride is further evidence for the promising design approach of covalently bonding incompressible transition metals with boron. While WB 4 was first synthesized and identified as the highest boride of tungsten in 1966, [52] it was only recognized as an inexpensive superhard material in 2011. [53]
