Now you are talking! It is my day job! (or part of it!)

Well that explained it well.
So now we need an iridium alternative.
Iridium is one of the least abundant elements in the Earth's crust, having an average mass fraction of 0.001 ppm in crustal rock; gold is 40 times more abundant, platinum is 10 times more abundant, and silver and mercury are 80 times more abundant.
Seems like a great research project for some PhD students.
So when you come down to Valencia next give me some prior notice as I can meet you there.
I guess you must be coming down soon as project initial funding closes at end of 2012.
