Small chunk of Ytterbium
Contributed by the site creator
Four chemical elements were named after the town of Ytterby, Sweden, where many rare-earth elements were discovered from the ores mined there. In this photo is Yttrium (large chunk), Ytterbium (in ampoule), Terbium (brassy pieces), Erbium (silvery pieces). Also included are small pieces of dull, slightly oxidized Holmium , which takes the name of Stockholm, Sweden.

One chunk and four smaller chunks of shiny Ytterbium metal. The smaller chunks appear dendritic (hair-like).
Ytterbium metal chunk in an ampoule. The slightly gold hue characteristic of Ytterbium is clearly visible.
