Rare earth metals are essential to high-performance optics and lasers and important to the world's most powerful magnets and superconductors. Rare earth products are more difficult to mine than most metals and generally don't accumulate into rich ores. This rarity, combined with the demand for the metals in high-tech applications, brings about economic and political complications that make some of the most interesting metals even more exciting.
