About 0.5ml
Nice sample
Finally I got this osmium bead! It's 1.42g.
I bought it from China and it's really cheap. It costs me 430 Yuan, 63.6 USD. I have to say that China is really a great place for element collecting. Everything here is almost a third price to those in eBay. It's more also easy to get exciting elements, like liquid Chlorine, Mecruary, or white phosphorus.
As a fan of Osmium, I decide to buy a bigger one around 5g. This will cost me around 1300 Yuan (192.1 USD).
Hovever, Uranium is expensive. One gram even cost around 1200-1800 Yuan (177.4-266.1 USD). It's really hard to ship it here from US.
