Although it is scarcer than silver in the earth's crust, bismuth is a little known metal. In fact, there is currently only one mine in the world operated primarily for its extraction. I buy it, melt it and purify it. When it cools, the crystals form under a crucible of liquid metal as it slowly freezes. They come out of the molten metal the color of silver. Then they "choose" their own colors over the next few seconds, sometimes minutes. They gradually change from silver to gold to purple to cerulean, etc. The results are never the same but always amazing!
Bismuth is the most diamagnetic metal on earth and can cause a magnet to levitate without the consumption of any energy. It is stable, perpetual and breathtaking. See my Maglevs & Sculpture section for the most beautiful examples. It has the longest half life of any element and is used in modern medicine. Bismuth is also the only element that has been successfully transmuted into gold. (Search Nobel Laureate Glenn Seaborg of Berkeley University in California). This was done at near light speed in a particle accelerator.
This amazing element defies gravity, heals the sick (it's the ''bis" in Pepto Bismol), creates order and even beauty out of chaos and is the only metal to fulfill the most sought after goal of alchemy. It's nothing short of magic.
