RARE METAL Makes Jewelry Debut

摘要

One of the world's rarest elements, osmium (Os), is now being applied to jewelry making. Bodo Albrecht, founder of BASIQ Corporation, a precious metals and consulting firm based in New Jersey recently stated, "Osmium is co-mined with platinum, and there are only two cubic meters of osmium minable on this planet. You have to mine 10,000 tons of platinum ore to get one ounce of osmium. This is how rare it is."
