Gadolinium is a soft, shiny, silvery metal and a member of the lanthanoid group of the periodic table. It is the 41st most abundant element in the Earth's crust and the 6th most abundant rare-earth element. Gadolinium tarnishes very slowly in moist air and forms an oxide that flakes off from the metal surface. When the oxide layer flakes off, fresh gadolinium is exposed to the air and the oxidation process continues. This metal reacts slowly with water and dissolves in acids.

Due to its unique magnetic properties and its use in alloys, gadolinium has a number of other specialized applications. It is used in magnetic refrigeration to significantly reduce carbon dioxide emissions due to increased energy efficiency. Gadolinium-containing optical lenses are used for magneto-optical systems.
