Osmium online store: Buy the rarest precious metal in the world

The precious metal osmium plays a special role in our online store. Our production, which specializes in this precious metal, allows us to produce particularly high-quality osmium crystals and osmium bars.

As the rarest precious metal in the world, osmium is considered by many experts to have great potential. This is not least due to its young history compared to other metals such as gold, silver or platinum.

MetaMetals guarantees a particularly high purity and production quality of the osmium you order.

Secure payment methods: Buy precious metals such as osmium, platinum, palladium and others by credit card (Visa, Mastercard), PayPal and bank transfer

Security is particularly important to us, which is why we focus on established and particularly trustworthy payment service providers in our store. All precious metals ordered in the MetaMetals store can be purchased by credit card (Mastercard, Visa, ...) PayPal, classic bank transfer (including SEPA), Klarna via Stripe as well as purchase on account and installments (also via Klarna).

We also offer cash payment if a buyer wishes to pick up their precious metal order in person, as well as payment with the cryptocurrency Ethereum, Bitcoin and other coins. The latter payment method is due to our drive to combine the traditional financial world with the new possibilities of the decentralized financial sector and to give these innovations more scope.

Fast and secure shipping of your precious metal order

Depending on the value of the goods, we send our precious metals within the EU by post from Austria. If the value of the goods exceeds a certain amount, we use a shipping service specializing in precious metal orders.

Please note: Please bear in mind that some orders involve unique precious metals, which are produced with great care especially for our customers. The production of these metals can therefore take several weeks. Find out more.

Buy MetaMetals-certified precious metals such as osmium, iridium, rhodium or platinum as bars or crystals from us as a precious metal store & dealer

All customers receive a certificate issued by us with their precious metal order from our online store. This certificate guarantees and certifies the quality and purity of the product, the date of purchase, the weight (in grams (g), kilograms (kg) or ounces (oz) and the authenticity of the crystal (osmium) or bar (osmium, iridium, rhodium, platinum) ordered.

Buy and order precious metals safely and reliably online

Precious metals can not only be bought and ordered online, as in our MetaMetals store, but also "offline" in physical stores. This has both advantages and disadvantages and generally appeals to different groups of buyers.

When precious metals are bought online, it can be easier to compare prices. In a local precious metal store, the distance may be short, but the precious metal dealer will have a fixed price, which means that the customer does not know how much the gold, silver, platinum or other precious metal would have cost in another store. This is naturally different with online stores, as prices can be compared on the Internet.

Nevertheless, we would like to point out that it is not always easy to compare the prices of precious metals online, as different manufacturers and stores may apply different quality standards to the production of precious metals. This is particularly relevant for the (health) safety of particularly rare precious metals such as osmium crystals or osmium bars.

When buying online, it is therefore particularly important to pay attention to reputable stores. At MetaMetals, for example, we offer a wide range of secure payment options such as PayPal, bank transfer, Klarna or credit card. Furthermore, we issue a certificate with every precious metal purchase to guarantee the authenticity and purity of the metal and ship with specialized shipping service providers (from a certain value of the goods).

Buying precious metals: Price comparison

At MetaMetals, our precious metal store specializes primarily in platinum metals such as osmium, platinum, iridium and rhodium. For this reason, there is something  to consider when comparing precious metal prices and other factors. In contrast to gold or silver, some rare precious metals such as osmium are not traded on the stock exchange or spot markets. The price of osmium is therefore set by the precious metal dealers and stores and depends on the quality of the production process, certifications and other factors. Interested precious metal investors and customers should therefore only compare equivalently produced osmium in this area, as bars or crystals, and not confuse it with osmium in unprocessed form such as osmium powder or osmium pearls, for example. The same applies to other precious metals such as platinum, iridium or rhodium.

Can I also buy osmium fused beads or osmium powder (osmium sponge) in your store?

In our store, we only sell osmium (Element Os, OS76) in a safe and interesting form for investors. Osmium in raw form as osmium powder or osmium sponge are not included in there. Osmium in this unprocessed powder form can form the toxic osmium tetroxide (OsO4) due to surface oxidation in combination with oxygen. Osmium beads don't have that problem, however we also don't sell them in our store. They should only be purchased from a reliable source.

We guarantee the health safety of osmium in either pressed ingots or osmium crystals through our manufacturing and processing procedures. Osmium powder and osmium fused beads are available at very low prices in many osmium online shops, but are therefore in a completely different category in terms of quality.

Is it possible to buy precious metals in the MetaMetals online store without registration and anonymously? Information on compulsory registration and proof of origin & limits for gold, silver, platinum and other precious metals

In many EU countries, there is a registration obligation when buying gold and precious metals - both online and offline. The form of the precious metals is irrelevant and includes the purchase of gold bars, gold coins, ducats, bars in blister packs, gift bars, motif bars, square castings, kinebars or coffin bars, for example. Gold is representative of all other precious metals here. However, the same also applies to platinum, silver, ruthenium, palladium, rhodium, osmium and iridium.

Depending on the country, there may be different legal regulations for the purchase of precious metals. In Austria and Germany, for example, there are certain limits above which registration or proof of origin is required.

As a precious metal dealer & online store, we adhere to all mandatory legal requirements. We therefore ask you to take into account that an anonymous purchase of precious metals is only possible under the legal thresholds. Please bear in mind that anonymous purchases are only possible if you pick up your purchase from our warehouse in person and pay in cash.

Buying precious metals without VAT

Some precious metals can be purchased in Germany and Austria with tax advantages. The keywords here are "duty-free warehouse" and "differential taxation". This mainly concerns or concerned gold (investment gold) and silver. However, it is theoretically also possible to purchase other precious metals such as paladium bars, platinum bars or palladium coins for tax purposes in connection with a duty-free warehouse.

Note: When purchasing our precious metals as a company, please contact us by e-mail and have your VAT number, company address and preferred payment method ready.
