Rhenium has one stable isotope, rhenium-185, which nevertheless occurs in minority abundance, a situation found only in two other elements (indium and tellurium). Naturally occurring rhenium is only 37.4% 185 Re, and 62.6% 187 Re, which is unstable but has a very long half-life (~10 10 years).
Rhenium was the last element to be discovered having a stable isotope. The existence of a yet undiscovered element at this position in the periodic table had been predicted by Henry Moseley in 1914. In 1925 they reported that they detected the element in platinum ore and in the mineral columbite. They also found rhenium in gadolinite and ...
Rheniite is one of the first minerals of the element rhenium to be found. The other known approved rhenium mineral is the sulfide mineral tarkianite. Almost all commercially mined rhenium is retrieved as a by-product of molybdenum mining as rhenium occurs in amounts up to 0.2% in the mineral molybdenite. A discredited rhenium sulfide known as ...
The location of the state of Arkansas. Paleontology in Arkansas refers to paleontological research occurring within or conducted by people from the U.S. state of Arkansas. The fossil record of Arkansas spans from the Ordovician to the Eocene. [1] Nearly all of the state's fossils have come from ancient invertebrate life. [1]
There, he was told he had found a 7.46-carat brown diamond. The 7.46 carat diamond discovered by Julien Navas, of Paris, France, upon his visit to the Crater of Diamonds State Park in Arkansas on ...
Chile has the world's largest rhenium reserves, part of the copper ore deposits, and was the leading producer as of 2005. [98] It was only recently that the first rhenium mineral was found and described (in 1994), a rhenium sulfide mineral (ReS 2) condensing from a fumarole on Kudriavy volcano, Iturup island, in the Kuril Islands.

An Arkansas man who picked up what he thought was a piece of glass at a state park says he later learned his jelly bean-sized find was something much more valuable: It was a 4.87-carat diamond.
It turns out he found a 4.87-carat diamond in the shape of a pyramid — the largest diamond registered there since 2020, officials say. “Mr. Evans’ diamond is spectacular to see.
