Bruce,
To complement your info, I quote "The Handbook of Chemistry and Physics" (you know, the huge book we never look at):
"Iridium is not attacked by any of the acids nor by aqua regia. Discovered by Tennant in 1803 in the residue left when crude platinum is dissolved by aqua regia. Attacked by molten salts such as NaCl and Na CN. Iridium occurs uncombined in nature with platinum and other metals of this family in alluvial deposits. Also used for electrical contacts. Its principal use is a hardening agent for platinum."
Also, this edition was from the mid-1980's and quoted $300/troy ounce.
Anyone have an updated price? Raye
