Bismuth holds an incredibly weak radioactive instability

HERE’S THE INTERESTING PART

The visually stunning rainbow metal is technically slowly dying, but at a rate so pathetic it barely counts. Bismuth was assumed completely stable for centuries until scientists realized its core was steadily breaking down. However, its half-life is billions of times longer than the current age of the entire universe, making it the most aggressively lazy radioactive hazard in existence.
