The Schiff moment of a nucleus is a symmetry-violating nuclear moment that indicates new physics beyond the Standard Model. We place the limit, $|\mathscr{S}({}^{153}$Eu)$| < 1.7 \times 10^{-8}$ $e\,$fm$^3$ (95\% confidence), on the Schiff moment of the $^{153}$Eu nucleus, using nuclear spin resonances in two ensembles of oppositely-polarized $^{153}$Eu$^{3+}$ ions in a Y${}_2$SiO${}_5$ crystal. This measurement using octupolar nuclei in a mm-scale crystal constrains new physics at the TeV energy-scale.
