Rare Earth Elements.
Full list / Comprehensive REE Resource.
The refined ores all look much alike to the naked eye:
(Ce)
(Gd)
Gd - Gadolinium / silvery white.
High refractive index glass or garnets, lasers, X-ray tubes, computer
memories, neutron capture, MRI contrast agent, NMR relaxation agent,
magnetostrictive alloys such as Galfenol, steel additive.
Pr - Praseodymium / grayish white.
Rare-earth magnets, lasers, core material for carbon arc lighting,
colorant in glasses and enamels, additive in didymium glass used in
welding goggles,[7] ferrocerium firesteel (flint) products.
Ce - Cerium / silvery white.
Chemical oxidizing agent, polishing powder, yellow colors in glass and ceramics, catalyst for self-cleaning ovens, fluid catalytic cracking catalyst for oil refineries, ferrocerium flints for lighters, robust intrinsically hydrophobic coatings for turbine blades.
Sm - Samarium / silvery white.
Rare-earth magnets, lasers, neutron capture, masers, control rods
of nuclear reactors.
La - Lanthanum / silvery white.
High refractive index and alkali-resistant glass, flint, hydrogen
storage, battery-electrodes, camera lenses, fluid catalytic cracking
catalyst for oil refineries.
Nd - Neodymium / silvery white.
Rare-earth magnets, lasers, violet colors in glass and ceramics,
didymium glass, ceramic capacitors, electric motors of electric automobiles.
Atomic Number = number of protons in the nucleus of each Atom
Rare Earths Atomic Number #58 thru #71.
