Rubidium is pronounced as roo-BID-ee-em. History and Uses: Rubidium was discovered by the German chemists Robert Bunsen and Gustav Kirchhoff in 1861 while analyzing samples of the mineral lepidolite (KLi 2 Al(Al, Si) 3 O 10 (F, OH) 2) with a device called a spectroscope. The sample produced a set of deep red spectral lines they had never seen before.
