tungstate
Scheelite's chemical form
A tungstate is a chemical compound containing tungsten and oxygen, typically as a salt of tungstic acid.
Tungstates appear in industrial applications like fluorescent lighting, X-ray screens, and fireproofing materials: calcium tungstate glows blue under ultraviolet light.
The mineral scheelite is naturally occurring calcium tungstate.
