Specimen: Bismuth

Location Found: UK

Size: 45 x 41 x 34mm

Bismuth chemically resembles arsenic and antimony. Elemental bismuth may occur naturally, although its sulfide and oxide form important commercial ores. Bismuth is the most naturally diamagnetic element, and has one of the lowest values of thermal conductivity among metals.

These specimens have been man produced. This process is completed by melting the raw natural mineral at a very high temperature and allowing it to crystallise or 'grow'. Once cooled to a solidified state & exposed to the atmosphere, the crystal form reacts with the oxygen to produce these beautiful colours.

**Warning: Contains arsenic and antimony which can cause serious health issues if not handled correctly. Wash hands after handling, and DO NOT Hammer, or break this rock up without wearing a mask!
