At Megabismuth we use self-developed and labour-intensive techniques to grow large, colourful and diverse metal crystals from pure bismuth.
What is bismuth?

Bismuth is a highly dense, shiny, silver-white metal whose primary applications are in medicines (antibacterials) and cosmetics (pigments).

Given its non-toxic nature and impressive density, bismuth is an environmentally friendly alternative to lead in various applications, including radiation shielding for medical scans, fishing sinkers and ammunition.

However, because of its rarity (nine times rarer than silver) and unique qualities, bismuth is a relatively expensive metal.

Bismuth’s properties also make it an excellent material for crystal growth. Under the right conditions, bismuth crystals can be grown in liquid bismuth (above 271.4 degrees Celcius).

These crystals naturally grow in an angular pattern, with faster growth at the ends compared to the base, causing them to take on a distinct inverted pyramid shape.

They exhibit a range of rich colours which result from the formation of an oxidation layer on the metal’s surface during cooling.

The thickness of this layer determines which colours are reflected. Just like snowflakes, every bismuth crystal is unique.

They are one-of-a-kind and cannot be replicated.

Megabismuth Crystals

At Megabismuth, we are committed to sustainability and minimizing our carbon footprint.

That's why we're proud to say that our crystals are produced using solar energy.

 

In addition, we continue to develop techniques to offer the largest and most beautiful bismuth crystals through the methods listed below.

- Working with 110 kilos of liquid bismuth to provide ample space for each crystal to grow large and beautiful.

- Continuously monitoring and controlling the multi-hour growth process for each crystal to ensure the highest quality and purity.

- Timing each step perfectly to ensure crystal clear crystals, as even the smallest mistake can result in failed or contaminated crystal formation.

- Allowing the crystals to colour naturally by cooling, which produces a unique and rich range of hues.

- Smoothing the crystals to remove sharp points and edges, creating a flawless and polished appearance.

- Offering the option to immortalize crystals with an epoxy base, allowing collectors and enthusiasts to preserve their unique beauty for many years to come.
