Rarest Precious Metal

With only one cubic meters of recoverable osmium on Earth, no precious metal or other non-radioactive metal is rarer than osmium. Osmium faces the greatest odds of depletion out of all other precious metals.

Unfalsifiable 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 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 Pure Precious Metal

The purity of crystalline osmium is exorbitantly high at 99.9995 percent. 

Tangible Asset

Osmium is a tangible asset. “Paper Osmium” is not sold, nor are osmium derivatives. The metal is kept in one’s personal possession and control.

Stable Price Development

The price of osmium can be found on financial websites on the internet, which is calculated daily on the basis of the harvest rate and other criteria such as bid and ask. In recent years, the chart has been steady and on an upward trend.

New & 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.

Certification

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.

Marketplace

Crystalline osmium can be offered for sale to private individuals on the Marketplace at www.osmium-marketplace.com at any time. The staff of the operating company will then try to find a match with a private interested party. It is important to note that the right time to sell osmium is still some way off. It will be reached once the institutes have sold off their stocks and the first urgent sellers have sold their goods. It is not currently possible to estimate when this might be. Crystalline osmium is, and will remain, a long-term tangible asset. However, we are optimistic about future developments, based on a number of individual factors and the growing number of major brands that are working with osmium or intend to do so in the near future.

Alternative Means of Payment

Osmium can be purchased not only via Wire Transfer and BTC or ETH, but in exchange for gold or silver.

Collect Osmium

Osmium can be collected as Os-Diamond, Os-Star, Os-Triangle or Os-Square in variety boxes. One can also purchase bars free of processing surcharges and exchange them for discs at an institute free of charge in the future.

Sparkle & Jewelry

Osmium is used in the jewelry industry to create unique and exclusive pieces. Crystalline osmium’s characteristic sparkle rivals that of diamonds and makes it an ideal center stone for jewelry pieces, timepieces, and other luxury accessories.  

Osmium 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.
