Tungsten is an element not found in nature, therefore the physical mineral properties you are looking for don't exist.
Do you mean the tungsten minerals scheelite or wolframite? Should be able to find those in any mineralogy book or even a regular dictionary.

Streak: purple-brown-green
Luster: non-metallic (earthy)
little bit of cleavage surround by some fractures
67% transparent
as heavy as the combined weight of talc, galena, and gypsum
tastes like chicken

Place to start: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tungsten
If it's for school I would suggest getting a few more references to back up the data.
