Iridium is the second densest naturally occuring element after osmium; the two are quite close in density. There are several synthetic radioactive elements which are thought to have much higher densities, but since only a few atoms of these have ever been produced and a piece large enough to see would vaporize itself, it's really a purely theoretical matter.
