Yttrium never occurs in nature as a free element. It is found in almost all rare earth minerals and in uranium ores. The yellow-brown ore xenotime can contain as much as 50% yttrium phophate (YPO4) and is mined in Malaysia.
Yttrium is one of the rare elements, and can be found in houses in equipment such as colour televisions, fluorescent lamps, energy-saving lamps and glasses. Yttrium can rarely be found in nature, as it occurs in very small amounts. Yttrium is usually found only in two different kinds of ores.
