WHAT IS BISMUTH?
Bismuth is an eye-catching metal that is over 8 times rarer than silver, and nearly half as rare as gold.
Bismuth is number 83 on the periodic table, and takes on an oxide layer that produces vibrant and unique colours. The colours are caused by a mind-blowing, and insanely visual phenomenon called Thin Film Interference. Think of it like a soap-bubble or oil on water. Mesmerising rainbow colours constantly changing and blending. This oxide layer is so thin that it breaks the light spectrum apart into different colours.
The visible light spectrum is 300 to 700 nanometers (less than 1000th of a human hair). On Bismuth, the transparent layer of oxide is the same diameter as a light wave, which results in it breaking apart the light into colours, much like a prism does.
Bismuth is surprisingly heavy, exceptionally beautiful, and no two pieces are ever the same!
