Mineral background
Wolframite is best approached as a collector mineral rather than a generic decorative crystal. The important details are the confirmed mineral identity, locality, crystal habit, associations on the matrix and the condition shown in close photographs.
How to compare Wolframite specimens
Look for dark metallic black to brown crystals, commonly in quartz. A strong specimen normally shows its main crystal habit clearly from more than one angle.
Value notes
Crystal definition, quartz association and classic mining locality are important.
Care and handling
Heavy and brittle; handle by the matrix and keep dry.
