Dysprosium metal is a bright silvery, very soft, and malleable rare earth metal that remains relatively stable in air at room temperature. 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 temperature and become dysprosium oxide. Dysprosium is superconductive at temperatures near absolute zero.
