[url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gadolinium#Occurrence]ATW[/url]: [i]Gadolinium is never found in nature as the free element, but is contained in many rare minerals such as monazite and bastnäsite. It occurs only in trace amounts in the mineral gadolinite, which was also named after Johan Gadolin. Today, it is prepared by ion exchange and solvent extraction techniques, or by the reduction of its anhydrous fluoride with metallic calcium.[/i] Doesn't sound particularly cheap or environmentally friendly to me... but of course most refrigerators on the market now require lots of crap, too.
