Rare metallic element (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

yttrium

(Other definitions for yttrium that I've seen before include "Metallic element, symbol Y" , "Silvery metallic element" , "Chemical element; um, try it (anag.)" , "Table item" , "12 [ELEMENT]" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
