Lecoq de Boisbaudran studied various minerals using the methods of spectral analysis. In 1875 he discovered in a Pyrenean zinc blende the element gallium, the existence of which was predicted by D. I. Mendeleev in 1870: Lecoq de Boisbaudran isolated the element and studied its properties. In 1879 he discovered samarium, and in 1886 dysprosium.
