Born in the United States to German diplomats, she developed an early appreciation for travelling the world and discovering new cultures. She has spent her adult life in Berlin, Germany, where she completed her Abitur studies and Bachelor of Arts at the top of her class. A core member of Osmium Institute since 2018, Clauss is also the owner and director of Oslery GmbH. Founded in 2020, it was the world’s first ever company to produce jewellery exclusively featuring crystalline osmium. Meanwhile, Clauss is on the Institute's board of directors and advocates worldwide for osmium as a tangible asset and jewelry metal. Outside of developing the international Osmium market, her passions include her fitness, her friends, her family, and her puppy. Colin Lloyd is the North American Coordinator of the Osmium Institute. Born and raised in Canada, Lloyd spent his formative years in Montreal before moving to Berlin, Germany, in 2021. His tenure with the Osmium Institute began as the Canadian Channel Partner. After spending time studying the investor behaviour of a country to which Osmium had been newly introduced as a tangible asset, he eventually took on the role of coordinating overseas trade to both Canada and the United States. Now based in Germany, the homeland of the Osmium Institute, Lloyd works in tangent with the Osmium Institute’s management to help bring osmium to English- speaking markets across the globe. Lloyd is a graduate of McGill University, where he received his Bachelor of Music in 2017. Before working in international commerce, he spent years performing throughout Canada and the United States as a professional trombonist.
The osmium crystallization 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. Osmium is found in platinum ores and is so rare that approximately 10,000 tons of platinum ore will yield a mere 28 grams of osmium. Platinum is a rare enough metal, and yet when comparing global reserves, there are approximately 13,000 tons of platinum, as opposed to around 200 tons of osmium. In fact, Osmium is the least abundant stable element in Earth’s crust with an average mass fraction of 50 parts per trillion in the continental crust.
What is ?OSMIUM The picture shows the availability of precious metals worldwide. The globally available amount of gold fits into a cube with an edge length of 22 meters. In terms of quantity, OSMIUM is the rarest of all precious metals in our earth’s crust, as there is 1,500 times less of it than gold and 2,500 times less of it than silver. Crystalline OSMIUM is 35 times more precious than gold and has the highest value in terms of volume among all precious metals. 1 pure ounce of osmium = 31.1 g. Crystalline OSMIUM has a steel blue color. Its unique Diamond Crystalline OSMIUM bluish-silvery to bluish-whitish reflection of light extends beyond that of a diamond. The light does not refract on the crystal surface and has a remarkable reflection. Osmium was toxic until 2014 when Swiss scientists discovered the possibility that they could crystallize osmium. The process is extremely complex and time- consuming with as many as 50 interdependent variables (temperature, pressure, gas content, etc.). If only one of these variables deviates, the crystallization process is unsuccessful.
OSMIUM is an element with atomic number 76 in the periodic table of the elements. It cannot be produced chemically/artificially. Osmium is durable Because of its durability, OSMIUM keeps its shine forever. For example, it is also resistant to hydrochloric acid. Its abrasion resistance exceeds all other substances. Inimitable density The crystalline OSMIUM has a purity of 99.9995%. In its crystalline form, osmium is completely harmless to the body and skin. Osmium has the highest density of all chemical elements and compounds, so it cannot be falsified by the conventional enclosing a heavy core in a bar. If you were to place a less valuable core inside an osmium bar, this would reduce its specific density which would expose the counterfeit immediately. OSMIUM namely has the highest density of all elements which makes it inimitable. • To counterfeit osmium is mission impossible! • Gold can be counterfeited by simply coating tungsten bars. • Osmium has the highest density of all substances. • It is not possible to enclose a less valuable core inside osmium. Osmium is solid The crystalline OSMIUM has a value of 7.5 on the Mosh hardness scale and is as hard as tungsten and harder than silver and gold whose hardness is 2.7 and 2.5.
Osmium’s rapid upturn Since its launch in 2014, the price of crystalline OSMIUM has been steadily increasing and is very stable. ● Osmium [€] exponentially The price of osmium changes once a day (every 24 hours). Namely, the price of osmium is not determined through the traditional precious metals trading system. It depends on the supply of crude osmium and the demand for crystalline osmium. t Opportunities • Diversification and hedge against inflation • Rare and limited supply • Available in flat and cylindrical geometries in various sizes including Osmium Disk, Osmium Diamonds, Osmium Stars, Osmium Bars and Osmium Shapes
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.
Sixty minutes interview with Ingo Wolf 1. Please tell us a bit more about Osmium and why has it gained so Ingo Wolf much traction in recent years? Director Osmium-Institut zur Inverkehrbringung und Osmium has many outstanding characteristics that have only started to Zertifizierung von Osmium GmbH become widely known since the discovery of its crystallization. In its crystalline form, Osmium is completely harmless to one’s health, a trait not shared by its pre-crystalized form. It is also mesmerizingly beautiful. The amazing thing is - Osmium itself isn’t new. It’s a precious metal that 2. As we understand, Osmium can only be placed on the belongs to the Platinum Group Metals and can be found in the periodic international market by your institute, please tell us a bit more table under the number 76. What is relatively new, however, is the process about the role of your institute and how can one purchase of crystallizing Osmium, which was developed over a period of 40 years and Osmium? finalized in 2013. Due to the toxicity of its raw form, there were no significant uses for it in the past. Now that this has changed, the popularity The Osmium-Institut zur Inverkehrbringung und Zertifizierung für Osmium of Osmium is increasing rapidly. The crystal structure of each single piece is the leading authority for certification and distribution of crystallized of crystallized Osmium is unique and many times more detailed than a osmium.

Just like a fingerprint, it can be used as identification. dealers, train processing companies, and provide information to interested What we’re left with is a precious metal with a unique crystal structure and parties. The Osmium Institute employs experts who can help confirm the the highest density of all non-radioactive elements. Thus, Osmium is authenticity of osmium and supply Osmium Verification Codes for private unforgeable.

They maintain an FAQ and help answer all scientific and economic questions relating to osmium. The Another outstanding characteristic is its incredible rarity. During the Osmium Institute Germany has the task of establishing an international international Osmium symposium in Dubai this year, new numbers were network of regional institutes on all continents to facilitate local trade. discussed studying the world’s supply of osmium resources and reserves.

With 10,000 tons of platinum ore, there is a yield of just one ounce contact in as many countries as possible. Currently there are more than 20 of Osmium.

So, there Its prices have experienced extremely low must always be a platinum price that makes mining at the necessary volatility and do not correlate with the depths economically viable. behavior of other metals or any assets in general. Osmium is a perfect addition for If electric cars conquer the world, platinum will no longer be needed in many sectors. This might cause the price of platinum to fall and mining at every investor’s portfolio… great depths might no longer be affordable. The result might be an early end to supplies of raw osmium which could trigger an interesting phenomenon that has been nicknamed the “Osmium Big Bang”. If this happens, the price and value of Osmium could experience an interesting development. According to the latest calculations and in view of the development of the platinum market, it might only be possible to mine one cubic meter of Osmium. That corresponds to about 22 tonnes.

Finally : As the driving force, how does a usual day look like in your life ? There’s a good reason that Osmium is called the “next generation metal”: Osmium is seen as a long-term investment. If purchased now For all of us working at the Osmium-Institute, our daily tasks include the and held for a period of 15 to 20 years, the asset can be passed on to analysis and purification of raw Osmium in preparation for one’s kids, who would benefit from the long-term returns. crystallization, the post-cutting inspection and microscope scans, and the preparation of custom pieces for various partner companies in the Currently one gram of Osmium costs around €1,500. Osmium is not jewelry market.

Multiple factors are important here, the daily harvest rate luxury accesories, another interesting phenomenon is triggered to (i.e. the amount of Osmium that can be used following the crystallization happen, the Osmium-thinout. Should raw Osmium really run out in the process) being one of them. But supply of raw osmium and demand for near future, an unavailability would lead to a severe shortage. crystalline osmium are also crucial. Given the fact that Osmium will not be available forever and considering all the Osmium that is being Osmium does not, in most cases, return to the tangible asset market manufactured into jewelry each year with growing demands, the once it has entered the jewelry market. This is because Osmium from demand will grow exponentially while the supply diminishes. If the jewelry already has a fixed shape, and it is incorporated into jewelry demand remains the same or intensifies, the price will go up. along with other metals. If Osmium is removed again, it cannot simply be melted down, because this would cause it to lose its crystal surface and This is, of course, the development investors hope for. It is also the thus its fingerprint. In such cases, Osmium would be returned to reason why it is such a good time to invest in Osmium now. Its prices recycling, which is a time-consuming and costly process.
