All I can think about when I see bismuth is Pepto Bismol.

There’s a guy on TikTok that grows bismuth crystals to the sound of contemporary music and sells them. My hubby got one for me for Christmas last year.

I'm just now realizing by watching this that bismuth isn't iridescent. The colors look like iridescent tones, but they aren't changing as the angle changes, it's just colored that way.

That's some gnarly layer shifting. Check the tension on your Y-belt.

I had some as a kid. It's slightly radioactive and it breaks apart by itself.

It's none of my bismuth.

You're really showing everyone your bismuth. I remember when times said you should keep your bismuth to yourself.

If you see it looking like this, it's very likely it's not natural. Bismuth just loves to cling to other minerals, so it's very rare to find it in it's pure form. Typically it's found with nickel and cobalt

The Vex still mourn the loss of the Nexus Mind. But for the Vex, time is relative. In one moment, a construct is lost. In the next, it is reborn. When a powerful part of the network is lost, the Restorative Mind is summoned. It has begun creating a bridge through time. A bridge that, if it is not destroyed, will see the Nexus Mind reborn.

The problem is that it looks like an ametuer half-assed the pour. It wouldn't be as bad if they did it correctly.

Additionally, geo-tac would be a far better and less permanent way to mount something like this for display
