Bismuth is atomic element No. 83 on the periodic table of elements.  Bismuth is an organically safe substitute for lead. It has the same density of lead but is non-toxic. It is used to make shots for shotgun shells, fishing lures, and low-melt alloys. We have many customers who buy our bismuth to grow crystals.   

Bismuth has many interesting properties. Its relatively low melting point, 520°F, makes it helpful in alloying with other metals. Bismuth has a very low thermal conductivity, expands as it cools, and has a very high diamagnetic value. Unlike lead, it is a brittle metal; it will break into crystalline chips when hit with a hammer.
