In the same year that del Rio found his erythronium, C. Hatchett examined a mineral which had been sent to England from Massachusetts and had lain in the British Museum since 1753. From it he isolated the oxide of a new element which he named columbium, and the mineral columbite, in honour of its country of origin. Meanwhile in Sweden A. G. Ekeberg was studying some Finnish minerals and in 1802 claimed to have identified a new element which he named tantalum because of the difficulty he had had in dissolving the mineral in acids. It was subsequently thought that the two elements were one and the same, and this view persisted until at least 1844 when H. Rose examined a columbite sample and showed that two distinct elements were involved.
