Holmium is a lanthanide metal and one of the heavy rare earth elements. In compounds it is almost always trivalent, forming Ho³⁺ salts with the pink, yellow, or pale colors typical of f-electron transitions. Natural holmium is monoisotopic, consisting essentially of stable ¹⁶⁵Ho. Its large magnetic moment gives the element and some of its compounds unusual magnetic behavior at low temperature.
Pure holmium has a metallic to bright silver luster. It is relatively soft and malleable and is stable in dry air at room temperature but rapidly oxidizes in moist air and at elevated temperatures. The metal has unusual magnetic properties. Few uses have yet been found for the element. The element, as with other rare earths, seems to have a low acute toxic rating.
The name derives from the Latin holmia for Stockholm. It was discovered in erbia earth by the Swiss chemist J. L. Soret in 1878, who referred to it as element X. It was later independently discovered by the Swedish chemist Per Theodor Cleve in 1879. It was first isolated in 1911 by Homberg, who proposed the name holmium either to recognize the discoverer Per Cleve, who was from Stockholm, or perhaps to establish his own name in history.
Holmium was discovered by Per Theodor Cleve, a Swedish chemist, in 1879. Cleve used the same method Carl Gustaf Mosander used to discover lanthanum, erbium and terbium, he looked for impurities in the oxides of other rare earth elements. He started with erbia, the oxide of erbium (Er2O3), and removed all of the known contaminants. After further processing, he obtained two new materials, one brown and the other green. Cleve named the brown material holmia and the green material thulia. Holmia is the oxide of the element holmium and thulia is the oxide of the element thulium. Holmium's absorption spectrum was observed earlier that year by J. L. Soret and M. Delafontaine, Swiss chemists. Today, holmium is primarily obtained through an ion exchange process from monazite sand ((Ce, La, Th, Nd, Y)PO4), a material rich in rare earth elements that can contain as much as 0.05% holmium. Holmium has no commercial applications, although it has unusual magnetic properties that could be exploited in the future.
Holmium forms no commercially important compounds. Some of holmium's compounds include: holmium oxide (Ho2O3), holmium fluoride (HoF3) and holmium iodide (HoI3).
From the Latin word Holmia meaning Stockholm. The special absorption bands of holmium were noticed in 1878 by the Swiss chemists Delafontaine and Soret, who announced the existence of an "Element X." Cleve, of Sweden, later independently discovered the element while working on erbia earth. The element is named after Cleve's native city. Holmia, the yellow oxide, was prepared by Homberg in 1911. Holmium occurs in gadolinite, monazite, and in other rare-earth minerals. It is commercially obtained from monazite, occurring in that mineral to the extent of about 0.05%. It has been isolated by the reduction of its anhydrous chloride or fluoride with calcium metal.
Pure holmium is a soft, silvery, metallic solid that can be cut and worked when freshly prepared. It tarnishes slowly in air and is more reactive as filings or powder. Like other lanthanides, it has a high melting point and a close-packed metallic structure under ordinary conditions.
Holmium has specialized uses rather than large-volume applications. Holmium-doped yttrium aluminium garnet, Y₃Al₅O₁₂, is used in solid-state lasers emitting near 2.1 micrometres, including surgical and materials-processing systems. Holmium oxide, Ho₂O₃, is used as a colorant for glass and cubic zirconia and as a wavelength calibration material in optical spectrophotometry. Metallic holmium and holmium-containing alloys are also used in magnetic research and in some high-field magnet pole pieces.
It has very few practical applications; however, it has some unusual magnetic properties that offer some hope for future applications.
Isotopes in Medicine
Radiosynovectomy with 166Ho-radiopharmaceutical agents can be used for treatment of arthritis. The half-life of 166Ho is 1.1 days. 166Ho ferric hydroxide macroaggregate ([ 166Ho] FHMA) radiosynovectomy is being used because FHMA minimizes extra-articular (outside a joint) leakage of the radioisotope [472] S.

Holmium chemistry is dominated by the +3 oxidation state. Holmium(III) oxide, Ho₂O₃, is the common oxide and is a starting material for many other salts. Holmium(III) chloride, HoCl₃, and holmium(III) nitrate, Ho(NO₃)₃, form hydrated salts that dissolve in water to give Ho³⁺ aquo complexes. The metal reacts with halogens to form trihalides and with acids to produce salts while evolving H₂. Lower oxidation states are not important in ordinary aqueous or solid-state chemistry.
See more information at the Holmium compound page.
Bulk holmium metal has low acute toxicity compared with many industrial metals, but powders and turnings are flammable and can irritate skin, eyes, and lungs. Soluble holmium salts should be handled as toxicologically insufficiently characterized rare-earth compounds. Natural holmium is stable and not a radiological hazard, although neutron activation can produce radioactive isotopes for research or medical studies.
Holmium occurs dispersed in rare-earth minerals such as monazite and xenotime, not as native metal. In weathering environments it behaves like other trivalent lanthanides, tending to bind to phosphates, carbonates, oxides, and clay surfaces rather than remaining highly mobile as a free ion. It has no known essential biological role, and environmental concentrations are normally very low except near rare-earth mining, processing, or waste streams.
Holmium is obtained as a minor by-product of rare-earth extraction, especially from heavy-rare-earth concentrates derived from ion-adsorption clays, xenotime, and some monazite sources. Separation depends on solvent extraction or ion-exchange methods because adjacent lanthanides have very similar chemistry. Demand is small and specialized, so supply is tied to broader rare-earth processing capacity rather than to dedicated holmium mining. Recycling is limited because most uses contain small dispersed amounts.
Occurs in gadolinite. Most often from monazite which is often 50% rare earth and typically 0.05% holmium.
Holmium is a rare cosmic element. Its stable isotope is produced mainly by slow and rapid neutron-capture processes in evolved stars and explosive stellar events, followed by radioactive decay chains that end at stable nuclei. In the Solar System it is concentrated with other refractory lithophile rare earths in rocky material and is depleted in volatile-rich reservoirs only by dilution, not by volatility.
- Holmium has one of the largest magnetic moments of any naturally occurring element.
- Its name comes from Holmia, the Latin name for Stockholm.
- Natural holmium is essentially all ¹⁶⁵Ho.
- Holmium oxide solutions and glasses give sharp optical absorption bands useful for calibration.
- The element was identified spectroscopically before it was isolated in relatively pure form.
