Iridium is a platinum group metal with atomic number 77. As might be expected from its position in the periodic table, iridium is stable to air and water and is not attacked by any acids, including aqua regia. Iridium is an ideal material for the tip of spark plugs and has been used to make a crucible for artificial crystals manufacturing.
