In 1857 a glasslike, velvet-black mineral was discovered in Russia and named samarskite in honor of this mine official. Twenty-two years later the scientist Lecoq de Boisbaudran found by means of the spectroscope that samarskite contained a new element. He named this samarium, after the mineral in which he dis- covered it. Thus the little-known engineer was commemorated, indirectly, in a way usually reserved for the famous.
