Scientific element: Praseodymium
Praseodymium was initially discovered by Carl Gustav Mosander of Sweden in 1841.
Mosander was working with the residue formed by preparing lantana from cerium.
It wasn't until 1885 that Austrian scientist Baron Carl Auer von Weisbach was able to extract this residue of Mosander's into two separate salts, naming them praseodymium and neodymium.
Praseodymium is named from the Greek word for green, since it oxidizes slowly in air to form a green coating.
