Bismuth relieves emotional and spiritual isolation, facilitating the meditative state of oneness, connectedness and serenity. Bismuth is useful when experiencing change, providing for calmness, vitality and orderliness. Bismuth facilitates the enjoyment of travel, and stimulates group and relationship cohesiveness. As bismuth solidifies, it expands to form crystals. Artificially grown bismuth crystals form a spiral staircase structure. This shape is due to the higher growth rate on the edges compared to the inside. Upon oxidation, bismuth crystals turn into a fascinating rainbow color. The rainbow colors are due to variations of thickness of the oxide layer that forms on the crystal surface, causing different wavelengths of light to interfere with one another.
