Mineral Species sorted by the element Tm Thulium

Thulium (Tm ) by %

**Thulium (Tm) Element Properties**
Atomic Mass	168.93421
Atomic Number	69
Name Origins	Named after Thule, ancient Scandinavia.
Year Discovered	1879
Discovery Credits	Discovered by P. T. Cleve at Uppsala, Sweden.
Remarks	Silvery metal, rarest of the lanthanide group. Tarnishes in air and reacts with water, Few uses but some employed as a radiation source in portable x-ray equipment. Diagnostic tests: There are no simple diagnostic tests to identify thulium. X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy is commonly employed to identify and analyze members of the Rare-Earth group elements.
