PHONETICS

Holmium is a rare earth element and is a relatively soft and malleable silvery-white metal. It is too reactive to be found uncombined in nature and is relatively stable in dry air at room temperature. However, it reacts with water and rusts readily, and will also burn in air when heated. Found in the minerals monazite and gadolinite, and is usually commercially extracted from monazite using ion exchange techniques.
