According to the Mineral Commodity Summary of 2020, there is over 63 million tons of vanadium across the world found in many places including many different types of rock. (Sandstone, phosphate, etc.)

Properties of the element Vanadium include many different physical and chemical properties. According to the "Royal Society of Chemistry" by looks, vanadium looks like a silvery and white-looking metal. It is known to have very good ductility or the ability of something to be made into thin wires. Vanadium is used to strengthen most metals so it is melting and boiling point is very high being, 1,900 C (boiling point), and 3,000 C (boiling point)("Royal Society of Chemistry", 2022). Vanadium also has "corrosion-resistant qualities" (Life Science, 2017), or the deterioration of substances from outer surroundings. Overall, Vanadium is a very strong and reliable element.

Two isotopes for Vanadium include Vanadium-51, which is the more stable of the two, and Vanadium-50, which is slightly radioactive (Nielsen, 2020). These are more common and used while vanadium has over 20 isotopes.

According to "Australian Vanadium Limited", Vanadium and its isotopes are used for many different things including:
-Nuclear reactors
- The added pigment in the glass
-Catalysts with magnet production
-Used to create tools with higher durability.
-Used in species, like humans, but in very little amounts.

- Vanadium was discovered twice. It was originally discovered by Rio, yet his letter was lost on a shipwreck. Then it was "rediscovered" by Sefstrom he did this by "pecting iron samples that were found in a mine in Sweden." (Eagle Alloys, 2018).
- Vanadium was named after a goddess.  Since Sefstrom is known for the official discovery of the element he named it after Vanadis, known for fertility and beauty (Eagle Alloys, 2018).
- While vanadium isn't found by itself on the earth, it can be found in over 60 minerals. (Eagle Alloys,2018)
