  Thulium Summary
Thulium is a rare earth element, one of the elements found in row 6 of the periodic table.
Thulium is one of the elements discovered in yttria, a mineral first found by a Swedish army officer named Carl Axel Arrhenius (1757-1824) in 1787 near the town of Ytterby, Sweden.
Thulium is a chemical element that has the symbol Tm and atomic number 69 in the periodic table.

Thulium is a chemical element, in the periodic table that has the symbol Tm and atomic number 69.
A lanthanide element, thulium is the least abundant of the rare earths and its metal is easy to work, has a bright silvery-gray luster and can be cut by a knife.
Thulium was discovered by Swedish chemist Per Teodor Cleve in 1879 by looking for impurities in the oxides of other rare earth elements (this was the same method Carl Gustaf Mosander earlier used to discover some other rare earths elements).
