Radium has not its own minerals; radium exist in extremely low concentrations in uranium and thorium ores.
This is the isotope radium-226.
Radium has several isotopes, but the most common one is radium-226. This isotope has an atomic number of 88, indicating it has 88 protons. Since the mass number of radium-226 is 226, it contains a total of 226 nucleons, which includes both protons and neutrons. Therefore, radium-226 has 138 neutrons (226 - 88 = 138).
Malachite is a green mineral that contains copper. It is a secondary mineral formed in the oxidation zones of copper ore deposits.
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.
pitchblende was the first, but any good uranium ore will do as it is a daughter element of uranium's decay.

No it is not a mineral but it contains minerals
Radium is a radio active element which always undergoes nuclear fission and desentegration, and releases energy in the form of radiation. It is an element. There is no compound in it. It contains atoms of radium.
This is the isotope radium-226.
Topsoil is not a mineral, but it contains minerals.
Radium is a white metal that does not occur in a free state; it must be refined from pitchblende and occurs naturally only as a disintegration product in the radioactive decay of thorium, uranium, or actinium.
Basalt contains the greatest quantity of the mineral plagioclase feldspar.
