In 1878, Marc Delafontaine and Jacques-Louis Soret discovered the characteristic spectroscopic absorption lines of a new element they called Element X. Later that year, Per Teodor Cleve independently discovered Holmium through chemical separation techniques from the mineral erbia earth. The three are credited with the discovery of Holmium.

Holmium?
A silvery, soft, and malleable metal that belongs to the rare-earth metals. It has the atomic number 67 and is the eleventh member of the lanthanide series. Holmium has magnetic, electrical, chemical, and optical properties. It is too reactive to be found in native form, and pure holmium metal slowly develops a yellowish oxide coating when exposed to air.
