Osmium can be obtained throughout the world only from trained dealers who supply osmium exclusively with a certificate of authenticity issued by the "Osmium Institute for the Marketing and Certification of Osmium" in Germany, which is associated with an eight-digit letter-number code for each piece.

The authenticity of crystalline osmium is guaranteed by the Osmium World Database, where high-resolution scans of the surface of each piece are stored and made available.

Osmium is an unforgeable metal.

The crystal structure can be identified with an about 10,000 times higher certainty than a fingerprint, even on a single square millimeter.

It cannot be created with a core of another metal because the density of the other metal would be far below that of osmium.

Osmium can only be crystallized by one company in the world, which has worked out the process over 40 years of research. Many repetitive processes during high-purification and later in crystallization are necessary to crystallize osmium without defects. Thus, crystallization cannot be bypassed.

Warning against fake products

Osmium in non-crystalline form is harmful to health and clearly recognizable as osmium sponge (powder) with black color. Also, osmium fused beads should not be purchased because of their contamination by carbon, sintered cubes because of residual toxicity and in general all non-flat crystallized structures. These appearances are not represented in the Osmium World Database and are all unsaleable. They are only suitable for collectors with sufficient expertise.

It must be understood that the above mentionend shapes cannot simply be converted to flat crystalline osmium, as they must first be converted back to raw osmium. And thus, despite all this effort, they would only have the realitvely low price of raw osmium.
