Native tungsten is an extremely rare cubic mineral occurring as tiny silver-gray metallic grains and inclusions in strongly reducing geological environments, including reduced metamorphic rocks and occasionally in meteorites. It has a Mohs hardness of approximately 7.5, making it among the hardest native metals. While native tungsten is of purely scientific curiosity, tungsten metal is industrially critical for light bulb filaments, cutting tools, armor penetrators, and high-temperature alloys due to its exceptionally high melting point of 3422°C.
