Tungsten skarns are typically coarse-grained assemblages of ore and calc-silicate gangue minerals that form commonly in the thermal aureole at the contact between felsic calc-alkaline intrusive and calcareous sedimentary rocks. ... The bulk of the world's skarn tungsten production and reserves is accounted for by relatively few deposits with greater than 10,000 tonnes contained metal ... 2, record 1, English, - tungsten%20skarn
