Mandala #39 — Y: Itrio (Yttrium)
Element 39 · Y · Itrio
Pure silver-white, platinum
Named after the village of ytterby — the rare earth in red television phosphors, laser garnets, and superconductors.
Yttrium was isolated from a single quarry in Ytterby, Sweden, which also yielded terbium, erbium, and ytterbium — all named for the same village. Yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG) crystals power solid-state lasers. Yttrium-barium-copper oxide was an early high-temperature superconductor.
50 Mandalas de Elementos Químicos — a sacred geometry digital art series where science and beauty converge. Each mandala's palette, pattern, and structure is inspired by the element's atomic character, crystal structure, reactivity, and visual identity.
