A serious seller would present a proper assay with all of the details. I suspect the OP is just kicking the tires here.
Osmium-iridium minerals exist... but TONS of it? ALL composed of this mineral alone? Yeah, no. The OP may have found a super-rich piece of pure mineral from the vein and selectively assayed that one rock... but that's NOT a genuine way to perform an assay. As we all know, one must RANDOMLY SAMPLE from many spots in the vein and get an AVERAGE. Otherwise, the result is exceedingly misleading.
 
Question about the "blob" you melted. What type of furnace are you using? Creating a blob requires that you can attain temperatures close to the melting point of the metal. In the case of Iridium that is 4400º F. (blobs to me are partially or somewhat melted metals formed from insufficient temperatures) blobs do perform somewhat better for an XRF, better than powder.

Any worthwhile guarantee would include actual fire assay and ICP to concur with your XRF claims. Only at that point would funds be released. In other words, the buyer guarantees payment if the material assays as claimed. The money can be held in escrow from the time of shipment to the actual verification of assay. Now that would be a guarantee with teeth!
The sample was processed through chemicals before putting into the furnace around 2100 ºC to achieve the metal. As mentioned 1.5 Au still remains but that was sufficient to get the accurate measure of Ir. Once contract terms are negotiated, further assaying could be provided.
 
This may be unusual but if true is just too good to pas up. Before we take the time to talk about all the arrangements - shipping/insurance/payment methods and terms/impurities that so greatly affect refining method/and so many more, send me 20 pounds so I can be sure my lab is properly/safely equiped to refine your ore.
Please let us know your contact so our team can make arrangements for the sample delivery. Also required is your company or project profile. You can send these details directly on [email protected]
 
To me it seems you don't know how these kind of deals are handled.
Remember that some of our members and even moderators have been in the game for decades.
Your only option i to be open and transparent.
You are quite right as I am new when dealing these online and cannot risk my assets to anyone out there.
As for the sample, only <5Kg will be available to the potential buyer who is willing to pay for sample delivery cost as well. Contract negotiation and exchange is the stage where serious parties engage openly and transparent. If this sounds something you are interested in, please send direct email to my Gmail account.

I do not buy anything, I just process my own scrap and moderate the forum.
 
Then please be respectful to all members new or old. Thanks.
Yggdrasil is polite, at least on this forum, and has done nothing to indicate otherwise. As a moderator, he has responsibilities, in part, to encourage that all potential business dealings are proposed with full disclosure, at which you have failed thus far.

The appearance of being impolite to a moderator is not tolerated well by the membership. The appearance could well be a translation issue. That happens.

Please address the issues raised by moderators and members thus far. It will show that you are an honest broker.

Yes, I am rude, condescending, and a bit snarky. Thank you for noticing.

Time for more coffee.
 
As many have pointed out you are making claims without disclosing any real reliable information , if you wish for more interest then take a sample of your blob and send it to a reliable assayer and post the the returned assay on here , without that or more disclosure you are wasting your time here.
