   all rare-earth metals, but is very difficult to separate from other
   elements. Least abundant of all natural elements. Used in metal alloys,
   and as a catalyst in various processes. There are two natural, stable
   isotopes, and seven radioisotopes, the most stable being Lu-174 with a
   half-life of 3.3 years. The separation of lutetium from {ytterbium} was
