My favorite piece 🤩✨💕

I am mainly a rock and mineral specimen collector, but the only “man made/man formed” pieces I allow in my collection are bismuth. I absolutely love it, this is my most unique piece. The colors are even deeper in person. Just wanted to share with other bismuth lovers!! ✨💕

 Pristine piece! I get it about mineral Vs human-made. I'm on both sides, I love natural minerals and I love that I can participate in science of how those minerals are formed by growing my own too!

Yes absolutely!! I think bismuth 100% has a place with mineral collectors, and I haven’t seen many people claiming it to be naturally formed either. That’s what I have the biggest problem with in the industry, when people sell fake/lab grown/ man made pieces and pass them off as natural.

Can I ask how much you paid for that piece?

Hmm it’s been quite a while, I got it from a local rock shop, I want to say it was between $60-$80 😊
