Ferberite is the iron endmember of the manganese–iron wolframite solid solution series.
Ferberite is a black monoclinic mineral composed of iron(II) tungstate, FeWO4.
Ferberite and hübnerite often contain both divalent cations of iron and manganese, with wolframite as the intermediate species for which the solid solution series is named.
Ferberite typically occurs in pegmatites, granitic greisens, and high temperature hydrothermal deposits.
Ferberite was discovered in 1863 in Sierra Almagrera, Spain, and named after the German mineralogist Moritz Rudolph Ferber (1805–1875).
