Bismuth Bowl

Bismuth crystals are fascinating structures that exhibit unique physical properties and beautiful, iridescent colors. They are composed of the chemical element bismuth (Bi), which is a brittle, silvery-white metal with a pinkish tinge. Bismuth is the most naturally diamagnetic element, meaning it repels magnetic fields.When bismuth solidifies from its molten state, it forms intricate crystalline structures with a highly characteristic geometric pattern. These crystals are classified as hopper crystals. Hopper crystals are characterized by their hollow, staircase-like structure. They consist of a series of concentric triangular steps that form around a central axis. The steps are arranged in a way that creates a hollow, stair-step appearance, resembling the shape of a hopper or a tower. These crystals often display a rainbow-like iridescence due to the thin oxide layer that forms on their surface.These Bismuth Crystal Specimen are made from naturally occurring Bismuth, however, they hav
