Rare earth elements occur in many minerals but typically in concentrations too low to be refined in an economical manner; the concentration of REEs in the Earth's crust is estimated to be between 150 to 220 parts per million, which is higher than the concentration of other metals mined for industrial use, such as Cu or Zn.
The last naturally occurring rare-earth element was discovered in 1907, but research into the chemistry of these elements was difficult because no one knew how many true rare-earth elements existed.Fortunately, in 1913–14 the research of Danish physicist Niels Bohr and English physicist Henry Gwyn Jeffreys Moseley resolved this situation. …

The rare earths are a relatively abundant group of 17 elements composed of scandium, yttrium, and the lanthanides. The elements range in crustal abundance from cerium, the 25th most abundant element of the 78 common elements in the Earth's crust at 60 parts per million, to thulium and lutetium, the least abundant rare-earth elements at about 0. ...
"Rare Earth Plots" and the Concentrations of Rare Earth Elements (REE) in Chondritic Meteorites Randy L. Korotev. The following sets of concentration values have been used in the geochemical literature for the purpose of preparing plots of "chondrite-normalized" concentrations of REE against atomic number or inverse ionic radius.
Upper crustal samples used in this study come from those previously well-characterized by major and many of the trace element compositions (Table 1).They include (1) the suite of Post-Archean Shales (PAAS) which Taylor and his co-workers originally used to constrain the rare earth element (REE) contents of the upper crust (Nance and …
Concentration of light, heavy, and total rare earth elements. The concentration of rare earth elements was diverse for organs of all three plant species growing at 1, 10, and 25 m distance from the edge of the road (Table (Table3). 3).
