Bismuth is non-toxic and has a number of very interesting properties. For best results I recommend using at least 4 or 5 pounds of bismuth for the surface crystallization method demonstrated in the video. The deeper the pool of bismuth is in the pan the better, because the crystals will have extra room to grow before they touch the bottom. The more you use the more impressive your results will be.
Some of you that are familiar with other forms of crystal formation may be thinking I gave bad advice when I state in the video that you can move the crystals as they grow. Usual crystal growth requires a very still solution with no movement, and a very slow cool down period. I did quite a lot of experimenting with this method and found that bismuth does not behave quite the same way. Once the crystals have begun forming it does not seem to matter if they are moved so long as they remain submerged. Further structured growth happens regardless of disturbance once there is a point to nucleate from.
You may also notice that I was not wearing gloves for a portion of the video, that was foolish of me. I was wearing eye protection the entire time. Leather gloves (not synthetic!) and lab goggles should always be worn in case of splashes or spills.
If you would like to skip the process of making your own crystals, you can buy them already made here (another affiliate link): ebay.to/1BIvj2C

Awesome experiment. The geode looks so hi-tech. Sell it!!
So you want to sell it to you ? I would !
I know they look like the geodes you find in caves
Instructions unclear. Created a crystal shattering superweapon
So my dad and I actually followed your tutorial and made some awesome bismuth geodes!! We actually worked with a metal ladel instead of the ceramic bowls for the geodes, heating it up over the open flame of a grill we're gonna trash anyways. This way we didn't have to worry about the breaking ceramic! Thank you so much for giving us the idea to do this!! It's a project I won't forget anytime soon.
Just wondering why you tinkered with getting a ladle to sit/stand at the correct angle instead of using a metal bowl. Did you remove the handle or something?
Bismuth I just.. love that crystal..
Why?
Steven Universe.
xD
Lol I don't really know why, I just think it's beautiful. Aand no, I liked that crystal before SU, but since there is a Bismuth in the show now, i like it even more xD
I'm sorry for my inner nerdery, but im pretty sure that bismuth is a metal

I wonder how well bismuth works for casting into a shotgun slug.
+TAOFLEDERMAUS Well enough I'm sure, especially if alloyed with something to make it less brittle. It's used in non toxic shot shells to begin with.
I ordered half a lb. If you dropped it on the floor, would it break, or would it take a hammer to shatter it?
+TAOFLEDERMAUS It's like brittle lead. Flexible but brittle at the same time. It will probably arrive in a very brittle form but melting it again should make it a little more solid. Shouldn't shatter if dropped, it would get a pretty solid dent with some hairline cracks running through it.
Thanks! I just hope it will handle the g-shock and come out of the gun in one piece. Glass survived so hopefully this will too.
+TAOFLEDERMAUS Wow, It seems NightHawkInLight's Videos seam to attract my favorite you-tubers.
The shapes, the colors it's just mesmerizing! Great video!

Magma has a heat of 1300 °F to 2400 °F where Bismuth has a melting point of 520 °F how the hell did she take a shower of lava and not die?
Magic.
Exactly what i was wondering!
Lol
Her body is of light and i think her gem was protected by her manly looking body
zakaria Mourinou No, she did it by being a badass.
My mom always wanted a bismuth crystal
That's why I want to make my mom one by my own self cause it's more special to make one by myself than to buy one
So thanks
How to get a bismuth
Step 1: Go to steven’s lion’s mane
Step 2: fall down a tree
Step 3 land on a bismuth
Now you get your free bismuth!
Noo you must
Step 1 : find a lion in the zoo
Step 2 : kill it
Step 3 : kiss it with your healing spit
Step 4 : enjoy your lion without it trying to kill/eat you
How to do this tutorial i follow this tutorial and it's work! :>>>>
So sadly there is no possible way for me to get in the mane oof
Be sure to handle with caution if you don't I can lead to two things 1:Death 2:Shattering

Aside from the actual crystals themselves, I'm fascinated by how the pure metal looked like at the beginning. The metal looked so matte.
Does it come with a free breaking point?

It comes with a blacksmith kit.

I'm going to tell them. I'm gonna tell them everything.
This has to be the COOLEST DEMONSTRATION I HAVE SEEN ON CZcams. I tip my hat to you SIR.
Sweet! Been thinking about a cool hands on science/chemistry project I can do at home with the kids and I think this is a winner. My 5 year old and I, who have approximately the same attention span lol, both appreciated the short but thorough tutorial. Thank you!
Probably not a good one for a 5 year old to help with. The liquid metal is extremely hot
Wow, Great video. Ive Spent a fair amount of time recently trying to make a video on doing this, never getting the results I wanted. I noticed you are using a LOT of bismuth, I only had 2 lbs.. That probably helped to grow larger crystals, because you had a deeper dish, and It would cool slower.
I was surprised at how difficult it was to get a nice single crystal. That crust on top acts as a nucleation point, and its very annoying.
When you scrape the oxide layer when its still hot, I got an awesome rainbow as it cools, did you get that too?
Something you could try is adding the oxide to HCl, along with a small amount of H2O2 to dissolve it. Once its dissolved, take a drop and add it to another container of water. The Bismuth Chloride instantly hydrolyzes in the water to form bismuth oxychloride, and forms a really thick white precipitate. just pretty cool.
Anyway i'm rambling now but, this is now the best bismuth video on youtube!
More bismuth definitely helps. To grow a single crystal I think the only way to go about it would be to create your own nucleation point by maybe submerging a pinhead or something similar below the surface. I might try the bismuth chloride trick you suggested, I haven't seen that one before.
"For this experiment, students, we'll be cooking up rock!"
