|
Iridium is a hard, silvery metal that's almost as unreactive as gold. It's salts are very colorful and it can be used with Osmium to produce fountain pen tips and compass points. It's best used in spark plugs due to it's high melting point but low reactivity.

|
Radium is a soft, shiny and silvery radioactive metal that's used to treat prostate cancer and bone cancer due to it being in the same group as calcium. It also used to be used in luminous paint, but you can guess why it's no longer used for that purpose!
|
Actinium is a soft, silvery-white metal that glows blue in the dark. It's a great source for alpha rays which can be used to treat cancer, although it rarely sees use outside of research. It's also speculated to be have been used in Russian assassin work.
