The element indium (named from the Latin indicum, for the color indigo) was discovered in 1863 by Reich and Richter. It is a rare metal, with an abundance similar to that of silver. It is generally found in deposits with zinc and refineries which produce this more common metal often sell indium as well. The pure metal is so soft that you can "wipe" it onto other materials in much the same way as lead (or even pencil graphite). It is corrosion resistant.
As with gallium, identification of indium involved the recognition of new emission spectrum lines (its name was chosen because of indigo lines in its spectrum). Curiously enough, Reich who did the initial chemical isolation work was color blind and had to turn over his experiment to an assistant (Richter) who was the first to observe the characteristic lines.
Like pure tin, pure indium emits a squealing sound when bent.
