The magnet between the bismuth crystals really is floating there, touching nothing but air, and it will stay that way until you disturb it. These crystals are solid bismuth, and this little arrangement achieves perfect balance with this amazing metal's force. How? The hardwood base contains an array of magnets. Bismuth, however, is diamagnetic repelling both north and south poles equally. With this arrangement, the magnets in the base pull and lift, while the bismuth pushes and holds the little magnet in a small pocket of stability. * Please note that the base magnets might vary slightly from the photos depending on the availability of the magnets at the time of purchase.What's Included:1.
