Big Bismuth

This big Bismuth crystal 122*90*32mm weighs 501g. Bismuth is a crystalline, brittle metalloid, number 83 on the Periodic Table. It is silvery-white with an iridescent hue. It is known for its geometric hopper formations. This is a distinctive form of crystal growth where the forming crystal’s edges develop more rapidly than its faces. This growth leads to a structure that resembles a stepped pyramid or a hopper. Bismuth is usually lab refined.

Rainbow coloured Bismuth is a wonderful stone for focus, visualization and shamanic journeying. Bismuth can prevent all your responsibilities overwhelming you, while increasing your energy levels to deal with them at the same time.

Bismuth relieves feelings of isolation or loneliness. It is a stone of transformation and change, helping you to adapt to change with calm and assurance. In interpersonal relationships, Bismuth encourages cohesiveness. This can make it immensely helpful for working through group or relationship dynamics.
