Bismuth is a very unusual and rare metal that is solid at room temperature. It is more rare than platinum, ranking number 69 out of the 75 listed rare elements found on Earth's crust. Bismuth crystals are man-made or man 'grown.
Bismuth crystals grow in an odd, staircase-shaped formation due to a greater growth rate on its outside edges than on the inside. Bismuth has one of the lowest levels of thermal conductivity. Bismuth is one of only a few elements whose liquid state has a higher density than its solid state.
