Like Polonium, Radium is luminescent and has a blue glow.
Marie Curie once talked about the joy she felt upon entering her laboratory at night  and seeing the rows of faintly glowing tubes.
They were like fairy lights she said.
She even used to keep some Radium Salts by her bed so she could see it glowing in the dark - an Atomic Nightlight
