Making AWESOME Bismuth Crystals at Home!

I've always wanted to try making bismuth crystals so I decided to get some materials and give it a try.
I purchased the bismuth on Amazon but if you're going to make some bismuth crystals yourself, make sure to wear proper safety gear!!

Pulling bismuth crystals is actually so hard! It looks so easy but it really is a learning curve on trying to pull them! The ones you showed at the end looked wicked cool! I dont even want to know how many tries it took you, to get those big beautiful ones at the end! They really are beautiful and just amazing! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks Largent! It really is a pretty steep curve but I think it's a ton of fun ^^ I'm going to post another video soon showing the nested pots method. Should be a good one. Once I feel comfortable with the whole process, I'll try to get some really big specimens. 😀 Thanks again and chat soon!!

Really cool! I watched Lapidary Dave and Sweet Jim doing this and they had a bit of difficulty at the beginning too. They are so awesome looking. They don't look easy to do at all. I love all of the pieces you kept including the two from the first pulling. Thanks for sharing Andrew!✌️🤠🤘

I have some shells dipped in bismuth and they look pretty neat. You had a few that look really cool and are worthy of display. That looks super fun. I may have to try this. Thanks for posting this super cool video buddy.

Really making me need to get some bismuth haha. I was already shopping for some this last week randomly now I see this! 😅 it’s like when I got larimar all the sudden I saw lots of larimar videos. Now I’m looking to get bismuth and they are popping up on channels I already watch like yours 😂

[@TheRogueRockhound]

Tons of fun man I'd love to see your creations! Best part is the recyclability IMO, great for beginners like us ^^ Cheers man and dont be a stranger 👍

[@RufotrisRootedRockhound]

@@TheRogueRockhound have you ever hung a crystal tip in there to try and grow some on top of a crystal?! 🤔 that’s what I wanted to try personally when I get some.

[@reneebeltran7628]
