What's the difference between gadolinite and neodymium?

Gadolinite


Definition:

  • (n.) A mineral of a nearly black color and vitreous luster, and consisting principally of the silicates of yttrium, cerium, and iron.

Example Sentences:

Neodymium


Definition:

  • (n.) An elementary substance which forms one of the constituents of didymium. Symbol Nd. Atomic weight 140.8.
