BISMUTH Bi.
Bismuth is rarely found in nature in its elemental form. Of growing interest in rock shops, however, most are laboratory-grown bismuth crystals. These crystals, while not natural, are nonetheless very interesting to the mineral hobbyist and to others. The unique look that these clusters offer is really indescribable. Its colour consists of iridescent metallic yellow, blue and green hues.
Of interest to hobbyists are the pseudocubic “hopper” crystals that are always present on the laboratory produced specimens, they are not seen in but only the rarest of natural crystals. Hopper crystals are a unique crystallographic curiosity Just the edges extend outward from the center of the crystal leaving hollow stairstep faces between these edges.

CHALCOPYRITE CRYSTAL CLUSTER
CHALCOPYRITE CRYSTAL CLUSTER
A beautiful bright Chalcopyrite Crystal Cluster. This Chalcopyrite Crystal Cluster had to be removed from our shop as too many customers couldn’t help them selves and kept touching it. Eventually all metals will tarnish if people keep touching them and they will loose their shiny brightness. This is the best we have seen for a solid cluster of Chalcopyrite worthy of museum grade or serious collection. This Chalcopyrite is very shiny and reflective. Chalcopyrite is Pyrite with Copper which gives it a more realistic look of gold. A great chunky specimen which has taken millions of years for nature to produce. This specimen is mounted on a perspex pad for enhanced display.

CRYSTAL MOLYBDENITE
A large lustrous specimen of an Aussie Crystal Molybdenite. There is no matrix to speak of, it’s all crystal. Hard to find in this size. Molybdenite is the main ore of the metal molybdenum. A great addition to your metals collection. Some are using specimens like this Molybdenite Crystal as a power transistor by slight modification in the lab. The Yellow oxide on the back of this specimen is a good indicator of Bismuthinite. This specimen was difficult to photograph due to the metals high reflection.
