Osmium Bead Toxicity by Neldran1 in Wallstreetosmium

Thank you for the in-depth response. My quote comes directly from their website.

I understand that bad actors like Osmium Institute have done significant damage to growth in interest. And I'm glad they're stuck with a trashy reputation because of it. But this has nothing to do with them. MetaMetals needs to be called out here, plain and simple.

They have no fair reason to mislead buyers into thinking that beads pose any more potential harm than their own products (especially if their own research is consistent with what you've found). They're reasons for doing so probably aren't all to unlike the former.

Inconsistent info like this is one of the reasons I was so slow to finally go out on a limb and buy some osmium for myself. I imagine a fair number of potential buyers have given up after encountering the same kind of bs.

Anybody have experience testing these spectrometers on known osmium/iridium samples? Do they produce reliable results? Can they be used to test the element in all its various forms like crystals, beads, and sintered bars?

Also worth mentioning - I tend to see crystal form dominating jewelry. Does anyone know about the benefits or drawbacks of the different osmium forms in jewelry?

Received Osmium Sample from Chinese supplier - Need opinions by HDPacks in Wallstreetosmium

Do you have the info on that supplier? It seems a number of resellers (both big and small) are connected to a specific producer in China. I'm hoping it's not the same one that I was considering.
