Tantalum 

Tantalum is the seventy-third element on the periodic table with a symbol of Ta, and an atomic mass of 180.94788 u ± 0.00002 u. Tantalum was discovered in 1802 by Swedish chemist Anders Gustaf Ekeberg, and is now used in many modern day appliances such as capacitors, and dental surgical instruments.

Oh, how I love tantalum! It's just so beautiful to look at in all of its shiny metal glory!

Tantalus curse 

From Tantalus, the Greek mortal cursed in Tartaurus to spend all eternity in a pool of water with fruit branches overhead, but never being able to reach them to take a bite to eat or drink.

Used to describe a purpetual streak of bad luck, usually characterized by a sudden upsurge of good fortune that ultimately turns sour when the 'cursed' party goes to secure it.

Man, I'm really Tantalus cursed, today. I just got this big check in the mail, that I need to pay the bills with, but I can't cash it in, anywhere!
