Osmium
Product Description
Now if you want to own the universe's rarest element, turn your attention to Osmium, the blue king of precious metals. Far, far rarer than gold or platinum, osmium also happens to be the densest of all elements. It is not often that nature gives two top crowns to one element. And to this, arguably, a third: a blue metal? Yes, osmium is a light blue color and when polished, it is immediately obvious to the person holding it that it is a metal unlike any other.
This amazing collectible is something to really brag about. It features a full ounce of osmium specially cast inside a vacuum furnace. Consider for a moment that the entire worldwide annual production of osmium is estimated at only 800 ounces - and a significant part of that paltry amount is recovered from recycling - and you come to the inevitable conclusion that this is indeed a very, very special item.
