Like other rare earths, this element is never found as a free element in nature but is found bound in monazite sand ores.

Otherwise it looks much like the other rare earths.

There are two series of rare earth metals, the lanthanides and the actinides.

Ion exchange was for many years the only practical way to separate the rare earths in large quantities.

Also, the method of separating the rare earth elements by the method of ion exchange had not been invented yet in Moseley's time.

They could not yet produce pure samples of all the rare earth elements, even in the form of their salts, and in some cases they were unable to distinguish between mixtures of two very similar (adjacent) rare earth elements from the nearby pure metals in the Periodic Table.

Rare earth elements change through time in small quantities (ppm, parts per million), so their proportion can be used for geochronology and dating fossils.

And India s government has shown its political savvy by forging an agreement to provide Japan with rare earth minerals a vital component in many manufacturing processes after China chose to use its supplies of rare earths as a diplomatic stick.

From employing its strong trade position to exploiting its near monopoly on the global production of vital resources like rare earth minerals, China has staked out a more domineering role in Asia.

So, in 2000 we wrote Rare Earth. In 2003, we then asked, let's not think about where Earths are in space, but how long has Earth been Earth?

These rocks have low concentrations of large ion lithophile elements (LILE), light rare earth elements (LREE), volatile elements and other highly incompatible elements.

These are not rare occurrences.

This latter question about the possibility of more undiscovered ( missing ) elements had been a standing problem among the chemists of the world, particularly given the existence of the large family of the lanthanide series of rare earth elements.

This is a rare report of the Zhabdrung remaining.

The European Organization for Rare Diseases (EURORDIS) estimates that as many as 5,000 to 7,000 distinct rare diseases exist, and as much as 6 to 8 of the population of the European Union is affected by one.

The floor gave way.
