It's man made. You can't find tungsten metal in the earth the way you can find gold. What occurs is a rock containing a metal compound, for instance the ore scheelite which contains calcium tungstate. Tungsten is extracted from it by first converting it to tungsten oxide and then reducing this with hydrogen.
