I know this is 3 years old at this point, but i have an important tip! The color of the crystals being blue/purple is a sign that the crystals are colling to quickly once removed from the liquid bismuth. If you throw them in a 350+ degree oven or wrap them in a insulated/foil dome after removing, they will come out those bright and vibrant rainbow colors you see online!
As you've probably realized, the size of your crystals are directly related to the depth of the Bismuth hence your need for more. If you can't afford more Bismuth how about trying a taller but narrower melting pot? It would also mean that it would be cooling down slower which would help in making longer crystals. Just a thought. [Former Chemist].
Unfortunately, the speed it cools doesn't directly effect crystal size. I also thought it would, but after having hundreds of crystal making runs under my belt at this point and testing it, there seems to be no correlation after a certain point. Increasing the depth is a great idea though!
At 4:55 I can see intriguing pictures hidden in this image! Carry on with this and we'll see more of these fantastical pictures . Don't stop, please. 👍
Try on an electric hot plate. An aluminum tube to start colder nucleation site in the center. A simple slow vertical lifting mechanism helps pull out the crystal.
From what I watched on other channels, the deeper the pot with a smaller surface area and a thick metal base, the larger the crystals as they grow downwards. Obviously you also need more bismuth itself to grow these larger more cubed formations rather than flat pieces with no dimensions
Seen it where people get an oxygen tank and flow tube and as soon as u pull it out blow pure oxygen on it to make deeper beautiful colors, depends what temp too on what colors when you pulled off but seeding it seems to be the best method and blowing pure oxygen on the surface!
Fascinating structures and a bit like something out of the Game of Thrones! From a physics point of view I'd be fascinated to know what process is involved that produces such rectangular rather than classic crystal shapes?
I normally follow you for moto stuff, but this is really brilliant and addictive to watch. Some stunning crystals and in some way it makes you really think about the fabric of reality from the crazy shapes and colours. Have you seen Professor Donald Hoffman's theories on reality? Thanks for sharing.
Question or Idea - will vibration increase size? Watching the X4 there's some minor visual disturbance on the "fluid" Bismuth like tremors - could this be a reason ^just guessing ^
Very nice bro! Glad to see you are starting to understand the growing crystals! Slow cooling is the game! Have you burned yourself yet? I have a few nasty burns from my own crystals. Mainly from the scraping oxidation off.
@spicy110 - Have you considered trying a narrower, but deeper vessel to melt the bismuth in? I'm talking from a point of ZERO knowledge about this kind of thing, but if the container is deeper, would it allow for larger crystals to form in a vertical column instead of flat and wide? Probably talking bollocks here but it makes sense to me XD.
Also noticed at 9:00 timestamp the 3 swirl patterns looks like 666 so maybe that's cool.if you like that sort of thing but worrisome if your religious. 😳😳😳
I understand that but I have a feeling you would not tell a physically disabled person to walk better. You can not see my dyslexia other than the odd spelling error, because I worked to get better. That is why I say think more before you ignore the whole video to criticize someone's spelling that you still knew what it was saying. "help you look more professional" I have run a production company for 12+ years, even though I am dyslexic. The reason I am pointing this out is I find people who correct spelling do it alot and do not realise how offensive it can be to the people they are commenting on. (I have made over 2200 videos so I am used to it, but worth pointing out)
@@spicy110 wow. I knew Brits were all neutered by and beaten down with leftism but I didn’t know they were this big of pussies. Ppl that get offended when someone corrects them are the same type of ppl that get “participation trophies” growing up. It’s funny that your dyslexia didn’t show up once in your replies. twist a in panties your get Don’t.
Ok if that is what you want to take from that, that is up to you. Yes my dyslexia doesn't show here as I have spellcheck, I do not have that in my editor.

The progress is insane man there getting better and better !
The great thing is what you dont like you can remelt and try again. The stuff isnt cheap!

The color shifts are so cool

Makes me think of levels from that Destiny 2 game.
A metal to make spoons, another one for hammers, one for chair and one for house. If they are exists - I am ready to provide my surprise reaction.
Well done mate, really good progression. The crystals are much better defined/sharper.

This was AWESOME! And I love the way you talk🤗
Good stuff bud. Random question are you still vaping?
It is beautiful. Perhaps using such gems cpuld grow something too.

Looks like an M C Escher painting so cool
I happy to send some for growing
how much raw bismuth did you start out with in the pot? (I apologize if you gave this information in the video, I missed it if you did)
Loved following every bismuth vid 😎👌amazing
Question or Idea - will vibration increase size?

^just guessing ^
get a little candle and leave it burning underneath after the melting
so it never truly solidifies put it under give it 30mins
thermal camera and or heatgun will help aswell
colourful
Bismuth is beautiful
Very nice bro! Glad to see you are starting to understand the growing crystals! Slow cooling is the game! Have you burned yourself yet? I have a few nasty burns from my own crystals. Mainly from the scraping oxidation off.
na no burns but I was a chef for 7yrs and weld so I am used to working with hot stuff. haha
Bolton Metals sells it for $330 per 50 pounds.

My brain just says *pretty things*
Can I buy one of them off you
liquid colored metallic offset
kool
I want it....

This is proof that there is a Creator. In creation is the proof of god (Allah).
The crystalline structure of bismuth?
Iridescence in general feels nostalgic somehow, especially on psychedelics you can see the sacred in this forsure. Looks awssome lol @@spicy110
Why is the structure of bismuth made like cubes
