Neodymium, the new twin,
the ore had two elements containing.
Praseodymium was the first one,
and after von Welsbach carried on.

It is a unique metal,
special applications ovarall.
First it was used to dye glass,
defining a whole new class.

Light absorption is tight,
so in dependency of the light.
The glass changes the colouring,
which is a magnificent thing.

From violet over pink and red,
or to a light greyish shade,
A spectrum spectacular,
luxury so far.

The second use, results from the same,
because with Neodymium, YAG lasers gain,
a defined infrared wavelength,
they are superior in energy and strength.

From military to chemical analysis application,
those lasers have a broad variation.
Neodyms strongest power is yet to claim,
together with iron and boron, it has to be sayn.

Superior permanent magnet,
such high power what they create
It can carry a thousandfold the own weight,
and two of them crush bone straight.

Only at absolute low temperatures,
a magnet loss occurs,
but at room and elevated heat,
there is no magnet as neat,

Neodymium, the hidden twin,
has unique properties to bring,
a teamplayer creating,
materials with high power rating.

It elevates to something unmatched,
from substitutes not catched.
Neodymium would be an idol,
lets elevate to the better, all.
