Tungsten Metallurgy
A fairly simple chemical test for any tungsten ore is to grind to a fine powder and boil with concentrated hydrochloric acid for 15 minutes. If tungsten is present, the solution turns cloudy yellow and will turn blue if a piece of aluminum, zinc, solder, or tin is added. The yellow residue is soluble in ammonia.

Tungsten
Many centuries ago mid-European tin smelters observed that when a certain mineral was present in the tin ore, their yield of tin was much reduced. They called this mineral 'wolfs ' because, they said, it devoured the tin much like a wolf would devour a sheep! Thus over time the name 'wolframite' evolved for this tungsten-containing ore.
