Mineral Species sorted by the element Dy Dysprosium

Dysprosium (Dy ) by %

**Dysprosium (Dy) Element Properties**
Atomic Mass	162.5
Atomic Number	66
Name Origins	Greek, dysprositos = "hard to obtain."
Year Discovered	1886
Discovery Credits	Discovered by Paul-Emile Lecoq de Boisbaudran at Paris, France.
Remarks	Reactive, hard, silvery metal of the rare earth group. Oxidized by oxygen, reacts rapidly with water, dissolves in acids. Used in alloys for making magnets. Diagnostic tests: There are no simple diagnostic tests to identify dysprosium. X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy is commonly employed to identify and analyze members of the Rare-Earth group elements.
