The method of claim 13 wherein the gamma ray emitting nuclides are found in naturally occurring minerals selected from the group consisting of bastnasite, cerium fluoride and cerium oxide, and mixtures thereof.
In the preferred embodiment of this invention, the radioactive particles added to the drilling mud are mud weighting particles for increased mud density, such as barite, containing gamma-ray emitting nuclides of sufficiently low concentration to avoid radiation hazards to humans and to comport with existing governmental health and safety regulations.
For example, thorium-bearing bastnasite occurs mechanically mixed with barite as major constituents of the ore from the Mountain Pass Mine in San Bernardino County, California.

 Praseodymium - Information from Reference.com
The major commercial source of praseodymium is the rare-earth minerals monazite and bastnasite.
Praseodymium was discovered in 1885 by C. Von Welsbach, who separated Mosander's "didymium" into two components, the earths neodymia and praseodymia.
The first step in obtaining praseodymium is to treat monazite, bastnasite, or another ore to separate the lanthanides from each other.
