Tungstate of Lime
Tungstate of Lime.
This mineral occurs rather plentifully in the Wakatipu, Shotover, and Arrow districts, where from its weight and color it is called "white Maori" by the miners. It is possible that it may have considerable economic importance, and that it might pay to collect and export it, but I am not aware whether its value has yet been tested in the London market.
