Neodymium is a rare earth metal with a melting point of 1297 K and boiling point of 3347 K. It has a density of 7.01 g/cm3 and is found in significant quantities in the minerals monazite and bastnasite, though not naturally in metallic form. Neodymium compounds are often a reddish-purple color due to the Nd3+ ion.

Neodymium is not found naturally in metallic form or unmixed with other lanthanides, and it is usually refined for general use. Although neodymium is classed as a "rare earth", it is a fairly common element. The color of neodymium compounds—due to the Nd3+ ion—is often a reddish-purple but it changes with the type of lighting.
