This very cool website above has photos of arcs of electricity in a flask of argon. And it has a bit about the element itself--a "noble' gas.

Argon constitutes 1.3 percent of the atmosphere by weight and 0.94 percent by volume and is found occluded in rocks. Argon is isolated on a large scale by the fractional distillation of liquid air.

Argon is the third most common element in our atmosphere (behind nitrogen and oxygen). It is an invisible gas, so you can't really take a picture of it.

fractional distillation of liquid air was where it was first found.
