    Or danish Daniel :-)

    But it was a Swede who discovered and named it. The strange fact is that we in Sweden doesn't use the Swedish word tungsten for the metal. We use the German word volfram. Huh?

    It was actually Scheele who discovered the Calcium Oxide version of wolframite (CaWO3)
    After concentrating (via gravity, or froth flotation,) the concentrate is converted into APT (Amonium ParaTungstate) then calcined into the metal which has a specific gravity similar to that of gold (approx 19.5mt/m3). Hence a small amount will weigh alot and balast the base.
