Rare earth elements power modern technology — from smartphones and electric cars to wind turbines and military systems. But where do they actually come from?
In this video, we explain which minerals contain rare earth elements (REEs) and how science identifies and extracts them:
What rare earth elements really are
The main REE-bearing minerals (bastnäsite, monazite, xenotime)
How light and heavy rare earths differ
Where these minerals are found globally
Why rare earths are difficult to mine and refine
Despite their name, rare earth elements are relatively abundant in Earth’s crust — the challenge lies in finding them concentrated in economically viable minerals.
Understanding these minerals reveals why rare earths are so critical — and so geopolitically important — in modern science and technology.
