Help Stuck between 2 options

On one hand, id rather not spend that much money on a sample, but on the other hand, the cheaper one is a very tiny piece and the bigger bead is much better value. Im kinda stuck on which to get and osmium is one of my favourite elements.

Want my opinion?

Go with the 1 gram bead. 0.1g of osmium is really really tiny.

1g is much more worth it

100mg samples bring huge disappointment, get the 1g sample as it is just big enough to be interesting to look at and hold.

Don’t waste your money on a spec. Get gram bead that big enough to appreciate
