No, radium does not glow in the dark. If it did, then the whole world would be glowing in the dark. Rocks, soil, plants, and any living thing contains some radioactive material. The myth can be traced back to the "radium craze" of the early 20th century, when radium was just about added to everything. When the radium was added to paint, it became luminous. This was the origin of the "radium glow". In fact, it wasn't the radium glowing, but it was reacting with the copper and zinc in the paint, causing it to become luminous, in a phenomenon called "radio-luminescence".

What kind of rock is radium found in?
Radium was discovered by Marie Sklodowska Curie, a Polish chemist, and Pierre Curie, a French chemist, in 1898. Marie Curie obtained radium from pitchblende, a material that contains uranium, after noticing that unrefined pitchblende was more radioactive than the uranium that was separated from it. She reasoned that pitchblende must contain at least one other radioactive element. Curie needed to refine several tons of pitchblende in order to obtain tiny amounts of radium and polonium, another radioactive element discovered by Curie. One ton of uranium ore contains only about 0.14 grams of radium. Today, radium can be obtained as a byproduct of refining uranium and is usually sold as radium chloride (RaCl2) or radium bromide (RaBr2) and not as a pure material.
