| | Bismuth crystals are peculiar, lab-grown stones that form intricate rhombic patterns. The patterns repeat on different axes and look like small cities. The metal almost seems to be "high-tech", it's really quite amazing and it's almost ambiguous as to what your looking at. All of the real information about this strange material is available on Wikipedia of course, but I must recommend a Google for 'Bismuth Crystals' to see some diverse photographs. Seeing these for the first time is like the revealing of an entirely different, mathematical aspect of nature, apt for reflection and contemplation.

Wow, thanks for showing me that. I've seen these before but never as crazy looking as this. It's amazing how they show all the different colors. Bismuth crystals naturally don't look anywhere as cool as that...

Wow.... thats pretty cool. I had never seen those crystals before. I even found a DIY bismuth crystal guide, but I would need something to melt metal with. Guess I could buy one of those portable propane flame cans but dont know if it will melt the metal. They look really cool.

(0) Human spinal motor nerves have been grown in a laboratory for the first time in a breakthrough which
scientists believe will have far-reaching implications for the treatment of devastating injuries and

almost every movement in the body. The success announced by US scientists could help the victims
of spinal cord injuries or lead to new treatments for crippling disorders such as motor neurone
disease. Researchers also hope the results will be used to treat incurable condi....
