Our International Merchant Database All our listed companies are certified and allowed to trade with Osmium. The trading structures are growing extremely well right now. Currently there are more than 20 Osmium-Institutes on five continents, and the number is continuously expanding. We are happy to announce that Osmium has made a lot of worldwide friends over the last few years.

The osmium crystallisation process and issuing of certificates of authenticity is entirely under the control of the Osmium-Institut zur Inverkehrbringung und Zertifizierung von Osmium GmbH. Certified osmium can initially only be bought from affiliated osmium institutes and partners who are certified to work with and sell osmium. As there is only one single entity controlling the crystallization process, there is only one place where osmium can be initially purchased. Exclusive delivery contracts for raw osmium have been negotiated with mining corporations. Only their products are processed into crystallized osmium. No affiliated osmium institute will buy raw osmium from any other distributor. As part of the authentication process, every osmium piece is photographed, weighed and measured in Germany. The chemical purity, which is at least 99.9995%, is determined per batch. The crystalline surface structure of every single osmium piece is an individual feature, just like a human fingerprint, but with a 10,000 times greater accuracy. Each osmium piece is assigned with an eight-digit alpha-numeric code, the Osmium Identification Code (OIC). The OIC is entered into the International Osmium Database along with the information recorded as part of the authentication process. The OIC enables private individuals to verify the authenticity of purchased osmium by visual comparison with the photographs which are stored in the International Osmium Database.

Opportunities with Osmium The driving factors behind the demand for crystalline osmium are its uses as a value-dense tangible investment asset and as a jewelry metal. Many other potential applications exist due to the special properties of osmium; however, osmium has historically been too rare and too expensive for any of these applications. Investors with a long-term perspective are therefore predominantly betting that, due to its rarity, osmium will become increasingly difficult to acquire for jewellers. In the future, private and institutional investors will supply the jewelry market with crystalline osmium. Purchase Crystalline, certified osmium is directly purchased from the Osmium-Institut zur Inverkehrbringung und Zertifizierung Delivery lead time von Osmium GmbH, Germany, or one of its affiliated local osmium institutes. Product Boxes Depending on order between 1 and 6 weeks Small investment tranches start at EUR 5000 (small box) and go up to between approx. EUR 125,000 per Investor Disk and Fees & other costs EUR 1 million per Family Office package (8 Investor Disks). The estimated market cap is $200billion Costs for import duties, taxes, fees for storage and any other costs to be borne by buyer. Options for bonded warehousing are available.

Medium Edged Bars are rectangular bars of crystalline osmium. The dimensions of Medium Edged Bars vary from piece to piece, with differences in not only length and width, but also subtle differences in layer thickness. These differences in layer thickness are due to differing crystallization times, which affect the height of the crystalline structure, and in turn, the piece’s overall sparkle. Investors may consider choosing Medium Edged Bars with large surface areas, as this allows more geometric freedom if ever one were to cut custom shapes out from the bar. Medium Edged Bars can also be exchanged for Big Round Bars from the Osmium Institute, free of charge. Medium edged bars Medium edged bar € 402,08 - € 17,263,12



Disks Disks are circular pieces of crystalline osmium. These pieces vary in size and price, Big round bar but due to their circular shape, all have € 11,525,03 - € 50,958,88 highest value-to-edge length ratio. As Osmium is crystallized on circular substrates, large disks have no off-cut or processing surcharges added to their price. Circular osmium pieces with diameters smaller than 1 cm are known as “Osmium Diamonds.” Although the smaller disks carry greater production costs due to their being cut from larger pieces, Osmium Diamonds are immensely popular in the jewelry and luxury accessory industries. Larger than Osmium Diamonds are Osmium Coins; flat circular disks with an 18 mm diameter. A Big Round Bar is the largest disk in which Osmium comes. A popular choice for investors looking for a secure means of securing value, Big Round Bars reach diameters of up to 5cm.

Foil Boxes Certified pieces of crystalline Osmium are transported in our high-quality Foil Boxes. The boxes have a black casing and two transparent foils between which the Osmium piece sits, making it appear to float freely. Each box bears the Osmium Identification Code. The boxes combine elegance and security and can be used to transport varying sizes of crystalline osmium, from small diamonds to large disks.

Assortment Boxes The assortment box was developed to be able to store and transport Osmium Diamonds, Stars, Triangles or Squares (each 3mm in diameter) with a high value density in a small space and without foil packaging. Collectors and investors who wish to purchase new pieces each time will receive a new assortment box with their initial order and with each order after reaching 40 Osmium 3mm pieces, as the box can safely store 40 Osmium pieces in glass vials. The Osmium Identification Code is applied to the vial to maintain clear ownership. You can purchase an assortment box for any amount starting at 500 Euros. The box is then filled with Osmium pieces until the desired amount is reached. A special advantage is the automatic overfill - a surplus of osmium that ensures that the total value of the assortment box matches the customer’s order.

It is possible to order more vials following the initial purchase of an assortment box to add to one’s investment. The vials with the 3mm pieces (Diamonds, Stars, Triangles or Squares) are packed in an air- padded envelope and sent to the customer by normal (insured) mail. This eliminates the usual amount of packaging and allows the investor to add to their assortment box with ease.

Assortment boxes can also be purchased fully stocked. The assortment box is fully prepared with 40 pieces (Diamonds, Stars, Triangles or Squares). Because of the slightly different weights of the crystalline surfaces, there are also differences in weight between the pieces. For this reason, the price of each assortment box is unique. In general, it can be said that high-priced assortment boxes contain slightly thicker objects and thus also have a higher sparkle grade.



Custom-made The design and order of custom pieces is available to individual investors and production companies alike. Almost any shape is possible. 3D objects are crystallized on carbon bodies. 2D objects are cut from flat bars, which can be bought from the Osmium-Institutes or from private investors. It is worthwhile to briefly search the online global web store to find out whether private certified goods with an Osmium Identification Code are available for purchase. Osmium should never be purchased without an Osmium Identification Code. If you would like to order a custom-made shape, please describe in detail your preferred osmium shape and we will contact you to discuss the order.

Tradition and Hospitality since 1701

The Grandhotel Pupp is an excellent destination for relaxation, well-being, and recreation. Pamper yourself at the Pupp Royal Spa and Roman thermal baths. Spa amenities include beauty services, body treatments, facial treatments, massages, and aromatherapy. Start the day with coffee or sip afternoon tea at Café Pupp, then taste the best of international cuisine for lunch or dinner at the Grand Restaurant Pupp. You can also have a drink with colleagues at the exclusive and luxury Mala/Dvorana Little Hall Rendez-vous cocktail bar. The hotel also makes a great venue for special events with the onsite event facilities offering 1900 square meters (20,444 square feet) of space comprised of 11 conference rooms, a ballroom, and exhibit space. Services like event catering and business services make everything go smoothly. Wireless Internet access is available for free of charge. Grand hotel Pupp - a world-renowned hotel, can be found in the similarly well-known spa city of Carlsbad. Famous names can be credited with the prosperity of Grand hotel Pupp - Viennese architects Fellner and Helmer, Alfons Mucha, as well as six generations of the Pupp family. Famous guest have walked and still walk along its corridors - Johann Sebastian Bach, Marie Therese, Giacomo Casanova, Johann Wolfgang Goethe, Ludwig van Beethoven, Napoléon Louis Bonaparte, Niccolo Paganini, Adam Mickiewicz, Fryderyk Chopin, Antonín Dvořák, Sigmund Freud, Franz Kafka, Claudia Cardinale, Franco Nero, Juan Carlos I., Robert De Niro, Gina Lollobrigida, Michael York, Alan Alda, Gregory Peck, Julia Ormond, Michael Douglas, Jacqueline Bisset, Robert Redford, Sharon Stone, Daniel Craig, Renée Zellweger, Antonio Banderas, Susan Sarandon, Helen Mirren, John Travolta and others.

The first of Grandhotel Pupp buildings was the so-called Saxony Hall, which was built by the order of the then Lord Mayor Deiml in 1701. In doing so, the Mayor of Deiml laid out the base outline for the later hotel constructions. At the time when the glory of the Saxony Hall began to rise, another Lord Mayor Mr Andreas Becher began to govern the Carlsbad town hall. He also owned a piece of in the floodplain at the river bend and he wanted to have his own so called “Lusthaus“. That is why he built it at a right angle to the Saxony Hall, approximately in the place of the current Mirror Hall and the Grandrestaurant Pupp. Right from the beginning they began to call it the Czech Hall, separating it from the Deiml Hall. In the year 1760 a native of Veltrusy Jan Jiří Pop came to Carlsbad, who previously worked as a confectioner to Count Rudolf Chotek. Here, he took a job with the local confectioner Mitterbach. In 1775, he marries Mitterbach’s daughter Františka who bought one third of the Czech Hall from the widow of Mayor Becher. In the following year, Františka bought the second third and in 1776, her husband, who by this time already called himself \"Johann Georg Pupp\", bought the last third. In the same year, he also started his own business. Throughout the 19th century, the business grew significantly and in 1890, the Pupp family, now represented by the brothers Anthony, Julius and Heinrich, achieved the ownership of the original Saxony Hall. In this year the family also formed a joint stock company. Six years later the business is handed over to the Viennese architects Fellner and Helmer in order to transform the “Etablissement Pupp”. The collection of individual buildings was eventually, in 1907, incorporated in neo- baroque “Grandhotel Pupp”. Years 1922-23 were the climax of construction and modernization of the entire hotel. Every room has its own bathroom with warm and cold water. Yet the biggest achievement was before the Second World War, when the Pupp family was finally able to buy the last of the required buildings, the so-called House of God’s Eye - today Café Pupp. In 1951, the hotel was renamed to \"Grandhotel Moscow\", but in year 1989 returned back to its tradition and its original name Grandhotel Pupp.

Grandhotel Pupp opens a new wellness centre with a relaxation pool and saunas for its guests. The new building uses modern materials in line with current trends, contrasting with the Neo-Baroque style of Grandhotel Pupp. An emphasis was placed on the selection of colours and the placing of lighting elements in a way that would be most relaxing to help induce a peaceful state of mind. The total area of the Pupp Royal Spa is 1,300 m2. The lower part of the building houses a sauna, steam baths, ice fountain, experience showers and a relaxation room. The entire floor above contains a relaxation pool with small thematic pools in the corners and a recreational pier. Located next to the main entrance of the Pupp Royal Spa is a modern fitness centre with Life Fitness cardio training. The hotel also offers the exclusive Royal Spa Suite with a private sauna, whirlpool, a dry massage tub and another massage bed. The Pupp Royal Spa is exclusive and individual - you won´t find a copy anywhere. The Grand hotel Pupp was also a major location for the 2006 movie Last Holiday starring Queen Latifah. It also appears in the 2006 James Bond film Casino Royale as Hotel Splendide in Montenegro. Right after the arrival in the station in \"Montenegro\" /Mill Colonnade/, James Bond goes to Hotel Splendide /Grandhotel Pupp/. In some shots, you can be, together with the stars Daniel Craig and Eva Green, in the area of the reception of Grandhotel Pupp, in the Grand Restaurant, in a room of the section Park Side First Class and in one of the most dramatic scenes also at the parking place in front of the hotel. The building of Spa I. was selected for the poker game; it is located at close quarters of Grand hotel Pupp.
