Pure metal lutetium has been isolated only in recent years and is one of the more difficult to prepare. It can be prepared by the reduction of anhydrous LuCl₃ or LuF₃ by an alkali or alkaline earth metal.  The metal is silvery white and relatively stable in air. It is the hardest and the densest of the lanthanides.

Applications --- Lutetium Metal, is the hardest metal of the rare-earths, used as important additive to some specialty alloy.One commercial application has been as a pure beta emitter, using lutetium which has been exposed to neutron activation. A tiny amount of lutetium is added as a dopant to gadolinium gallim garnet (GGG), which is used in magnetic bubble memory devices.
