Tungsten was discovered by two brothers named Juan José and Fausto Elhuyar, Spanish chemists, in 1783 in samples of the mineral wolframite ((Fe, Mn)WO4). In 1781, Carl Wilhelm Scheele had suggested that it might be possible to obtain a new metal by reducing an acid made from Scheelite (calcium tungstate) which would be tugsten - but he did not isolate it.
