Crystallized Bismuth City in observation box
PUMI2624
This 1.1 kg bismuth, with its geometric crystal structures and iridescent golden highlights, looks like something straight out of a retro video game. Manufactured by controlled solidification, this metal reveals impossible shapes and shimmering colours, the result of fine surface oxidation. Although rare in its natural state, bismuth shines here in a way that is both scientific and resolutely pop.
Framed like a museum piece, but with a quirky twist, this specimen is presented in an observation frame with a built-in magnifying glass. So you can explore every nook and cranny of this crystalline ‘fake city’ and admire the futuristic details it reveals from every angle.
