allotrope
Ir
The densest metal on Earth, in its stable face-centred cubic form
← Allotrope of Iridium
Iridium is so rare and tough that a spike of it in ancient rock layers marks the asteroid impact that ended the dinosaurs.
A crystalline allotrope of Iridium (space group Fm-3m), sourced from the Crystallography Open Database (COD 9012960).
