Herkunft des Namen:
Beschreibung:	Soft, malleable, ductile, silvery metal
Entdeckt von:	Per Theodor Cleve
Jahr:	1879
Ort:	Schweden
Quelle(n):	Found with other rare earths in the minerals gadolinite, euxenite, xenotime, and monazite. Monazite is often 50% rare earth by weight and 0.007% thulium.
Verwendung(en):	Radioactive thulium is used to power portable x-ray machines, eliminating the need for electrical equipment.
