Osmium is very hypoallergenic. It’s only poisonous when oxidised … forming Osmium tetroxide (OsO₄). Luckily that form has a pungent chlorine like odour (if exposure occurs) but osmium doesn’t oxidise below 200°C so you’ll probably be fine. There’s a Swiss company that figured out how to crystallise it (which is even more stable) and they advise that all other forms are unsafe to help market their own product (which is more diamond like).
According to a 2022 world bank report, half the global population live on less than US$2.15 per day. Even assuming they all live on exactly US$2.15 (and they don’t), that’s approximately US$785 per year. A gram of Osmium currently costs around US$1390. That’s US$1.39 million for a kg. This means that 1kg of Osmium costs more than most people would earn in 1770 years.
@@doomsdayrule well yea but i automatically assume that most people watching live in the west since when you earn 2.15$ per day you won't be able to afford a computer very easily aswell as with what most people earn im talking top 80% ish of the population in western regions
@@doomsdayrule yea that's true but "most people" on the internet aren't simply smart enough or too lazy to comprehend if i were to write a whole essay about how much money that is by average income
I've always wanted to buy this exact cube of osmium, since it's my favourite element. But then I found out that it's actually the rarest and thus most valuable metal on earth. This amount of gold would be a true bargain in comparison, fml...
@@icyycold515not recommended because it already formed a thin layer of oxide on the surface. As far as I know it can also be absorbed through the skin,so holding it with bare hands is a bad idea too
Wow, that cube is an absolute beauty, with this bluish color of osmium! Also pretty crazy to think about that the entire world's osmium production is less than 3 of these cubes per day.
The tungsten cube cured my mortality, the osmium cube moved me to a level beyond the comprehension of immortal beings, I am now creating universes with properties previously undefined by the gods, I wouldn't reccomend the cube to most people as they wouldn't understand the complexity in its intensity of its density, as it's veracity will consume all mortals without the knowledge of its novelties of its properties
