Aluminum because it has neat properties, like pH dependant solubility;

Radium because it is present in some of the natural springs in appalachia, the water from which was once marketed as "liquid sunshine." Not to mention that it gave all those female watchmakers those hot cancerous tumors of the mouth back in the day.
