Legend

Name origin:	Greek: prasios and didymos (green twin); from its green salts.
Description:	Silvery white, moderately soft, malleable, ductile metal.
Discovered by:	C.F. Aver von Welsbach
Year:	1885
Place:	Austria
Sources:	Obtained from same salts as neodymium.
Use(s):	Used with neodymium to make lenses for glass maker's goggles since it filters out the yellow light present in glass blowing. Alloyed with magnesium creates a high-strength metal used in aircraft engines. Makes up 5% of Mich metal.
