Unfalsifiable Crystal StructureUnfalsifiable Crystal Structure
The crystal structure of osmium is scanned down to the nanometer range. This scan is used to identify every piece of crystalline osmium and is impossible to reproduce. The security exceeds that of a fingerprint scan by a factor of ten thousand.

Ancient ElementsAncient Elements
The chemical element osmium was first formed in a so-called kilonova, the collision of two neutron stars. This extremely rare process in the universe led to the formation of the platinum group metals. These metals are found in the Earth’s mantle in vanishingly small quantities and are extremely rare compared to gold or silver.

The price of crystalline osmium is determined by the spot price available online. This spot price is updated daily and is based on several factors including the harvest rate, demand, and supply of crystalline osmium. The price in recent years has a stable upward trend.

New & Non-ToxicNew & Non-Toxic
The crystallization process that transforms osmium from a raw, toxic powder into a chemically pure and non-toxic form was discovered in 2014. It is in this crystalline form that Osmium was first introduced to the international market.

CertificationCertification
The German Osmium Institute certifies each piece of crystallized osmium. A piece’s certificate may be called up online using the Osmium Identification Code printed on its packaging. An owner may use their Owner Change Code to safely transfer ownership to another person when selling or gifting osmium.

Osmium DatabaseOsmium Database
All data on certified osmium pieces, including specs, ownership, and transaction history are stored in the highly secure International Osmium Database in conformity with the guidelines of the Basic Data Protection Regulation. The data can only be retrieved by authorized personnel. Each owner can query the certificates of particular pieces using the Osmium Identification Code. Personalized certificates can be downloaded using the owner change code.
