Three beads of Osmium in the center, a bead of Ruthenium [in the row] above, a bead of Rhenium [in the column] to the left, and a bead of Iridium [in the column] to the right. This mirrors the relative positions of these elements in the periodic table.

1 gram Osmium bead. Osmium is the densest metal, chemical element, and might be the densest "thing" obtainable on Earth. It's about 17% more dense than Tungsten !
