Not much. We could make some in the physics lab. But there is only the barest trace of this radioactive material anywhere on earth. Promethium has no stable isotopes, and the longest-lived isotope has a half-life of only about 17.7 years. This stuff disappears almost as rapidly as it is created in nature, and only a couple of elements produce it by radioactive decay. If there was none around, we wouldn't miss it much since there is so little to begin with. Use the link below for more information.

Is promethium malleable?

Yes. Promethium is a rare earth metal and is found in the periodic table in the Lanthanide section. Its symbol is Pm and it has the atomic number 61. It was predicted to exist, but could not be found in the earth's crust. Promethium has no stable isotopes, and what ones it has are relatively short-lived. It was first isolated from spent nuclear fuel, and later discovered in ores of uranium, but only in the most minute quantities.
