Mineralogical characteristics
We often find bismuth in its corrected and laboratory-grown form, with a metallic appearance and rainbow reflections, shaped like squares or pyramids stacked on top of one another and very lightweight.
It is rare to find well-developed bismuth crystals, and it is generally compact due to its perfect leafy cleavage.
Bismuth belongs to the group of native elements, chemical elements that occur in nature without combining with others.
