We visit a disused mine in Ytterby, Sweden, where four elements on the periodic table were first discovered.

This is a re-upload of the original video, now at higher quality.

The elements named after Ytterby at Yttrium, Ytterbium, Erbium and Terbium.

  • There is a typo in this video's descriptive text: "Erbim" [sic].

    Brady, are you planning any more bibledex videos?

  • @drosprey funnily enough we just had a meeting about a new series of Bibledex videos... it is going to be very cool... I wrote a short bit about it on the periodicvideos blogpsot... stay subscribed to bibledex because they will be starting soon!

  • This is a great video. As a amateur geologist/rockhound to be able to see a site where these mineral/elements are found is great. My question i, did you collect or tak any rocks from there? God knows you could not have stopped me from collecting a few rocks from there.

  • @byront37 you are not supposed to take rocks from the site, so of course we did not! ;)
