Is Tungsten Rock sedimentary?

Tungsten rock is not sedimentary; it is typically found in mineral form, most commonly as wolframite or scheelite, which are both classified as igneous or metamorphic rocks. These minerals originate from hydrothermal processes or are formed during the cooling of magma.
