Europium is also a rare earth metal. So rare in fact that it can only be found in bastnasite or monazite sand. Today most Europium is produced in laboratories. It's prepared by mixing 10% Lanthanum metal and heating the mixture in a crucible under a high vaccume. The element is then collected from the sides of the crucible.
