Abstract:China is a large tungsten producing country with more than 60% of the world's tungsten resources. Scheelite reserves and mining capacity are the first in the world for a long time. As the most important industrial tungsten mineral in the world, scheelite can be widely developed in magmatic hydrothermal tungsten polymetallic deposits, such as quartz vein type Au W deposit, porphyry Cu Mo W deposit, skarn type deposit, vein Sn W deposit. The crystal records important information, such as physical chemical conditions of fluid evolution, migration and crystallization precipitation. It is an important genetic object of tungsten polymetallic deposits. In the past 20 years. The study of scheelite genetic mineralogy is playing a more and more important role in the study of scheelite. Especially in the last 10 years, the study of scheelite genesis revealed by scheelite genetic mineralogy has shown a rapid growth trend, and has become a hot spot of tungsten ore research at home and abroad. Research results of genetic mineralogy of scheelite in the past has been reviewed in this paper on tungsten polymetallic deposits (including rare earth element characteristics, trace element characteristics, radioisotope characteristics, stable isotope characteristics and experimental geochemistry of scheelite crystals). It is found that there are always multiple solutions or even contradictions about the key geochemical characteristics of scheelite when discussing the genesis of scheelite The wide application of genetic mineralogy of scheelite in the study of tungsten ore is seriously restricted. In view of the above key problems. The corresponding scientific solutions have been put forward, and prospect of the development of scheelite genetic mineralogy in the future has been studied as well.
