Dysprosium Metal Description

Dysprosium is a lustrous, soft, silvery rare earth element. You can even cut it with a knife. Dysprosium's characteristics can be strongly affected by the presence of small amounts of impurities. Dysprosium is stable in air at room temperature but can be easily oxidized by oxygen and water at high temperatures and become dysprosium oxide. Dysprosium is superconductive at temperatures near absolute zero.
