Bismuth Chunk (5 pounds | 99.99+% Pure) Raw Bismuth Metal | Great for Crystal Making

My son and i had a blast heating the bismuth and making crystals for his science project. We used our stovetop but you could use a portable burner as well. I wouldn’t recommend using your good cookware. We used a stainless camping cup cause once you melt bismuth in it, it is pretty much ruined for any other use.

So much fun I ordered 5lb and had a blast making really cool crystals with my boys 10/10 worth it

I'm beginning to work with metals and bought from here as a first time purchaser. I'm happy with the speed and amount for the price. The bizmuth appears to be high quality and was weighed accurately after I checked at delivery. The packaging was a little underwhelming, a few bits were tucked into box corners and I had to break the box down to get every piece, but that was a small issue that didn't affect much for me. Overall happy and will probably make further purchases for more bizmuth.

It was 5lbs. Seems very pure, they just seem to have used little gravel/pebble sized bits to get just over and I've got to wonder if the manhour of such precision is worth the margins saved over some more standardized process but please don't get me wrong I'm not complaining at all, it's a perfect order. I just found it a bit cute.

Had to figure out a good process but the material is very good for melting to make bismuth crystals.

No complaints here

I bought this for my wife to make crystals with,,I only got 5 pounds ...well that is not enough to make decent sized crystals with the setup she is using so my only advice is to get alot!! If you think you have enough for what you want to do, buy five more pounds..lol. my wife did get some really nice color and formations from the five pounds I purchased . But I believe she will need at least ten more pounds to get large crystals (15 pounds all together) another tip I have is ...get as many crystals out on the first cooling cycle because each time you reheat you lose metal to slag on the surface!! I am definitely buying more from this seller!!!

Product is exactly as advertised. We melted over and over again to make crystals. Were able to produce at least 10 well defined and beautifully colored crystal clusters of ~1X1", and 1X2" in dimension before the metal in our pan was too shallow.
