Where do you find gadolinium?

Answer 1

Gadolinium can be found in small amounts in minerals like monazite, gadolinite and bastnaesite. Although called rare earth metals they are not rare in terms of occurrence but rather the elements they contain are extremely difficult to separate from one another. After the Finnish scientist Johan Gadolin first saw rocks that contained this element, it took scientists nearly a century to isolate the various elements, including gadolinium, contained in them

Gadolinite can be found in various places throughout the world including Norway, Sweden, Canada, China, Russia, Austria, the U.S., among other nations.

Gadolinium is a rare earth element that is primarily extracted from mineral sources such as bastnäsite and monazite. It is not found in its pure form in nature, but instead must be extracted and processed from these mineral deposits.
