Krypton

Krypton is a noble gas which is found in the atmosphere in trace quantities.

While it has not found much practical use, it's spectrum has been used as a standard for length measurement.

This is an example of how the relative abundances of isotopes are determined. The mass spectrograph uses a magnetic field to bend charged ions of the material into circles with diameters dependent upon the mass. It then can measure the current as a function of distance to determine the relative abundances of the isotopes.
