Tungsten is simple, like the name implies (it is infact Swedish which the
Americans still want to use over the internationally accepted Wolfram) you just
go looking for a really heavy stone (tung <=> heavy, sten <=> stone), but it
better be of wolframite or you got some uranium on your hands, and you don't
want that.
