Bismuth is a metallic element found on the periodic table, symbol Bi, with an atomic number of 83. Though known since antiquity, it was often mistaken for tin or lead until the 18th century. This large specimen shows the metal’s famous rainbow-like colours, created by surface oxidation, shifting across purples, blues, greens, and golds.

Large Bismuth specimens often display pronounced hopper crystal formations. These stepped, geometric shapes form as the crystal grows rapidly along its edges, leaving intricate hollow channels. Such pieces are striking both visually and scientifically, making them a highlight for collectors, educators, and display collections alike.
