Guys, if you are looking to make a buck but have not a clue what to do, Asante has a business plan for you!

Look at these:






These are Bismuth crystals. Bismuth is a low boiling point metal that is cheap to buy in bulk ($10-40 a kilo for high purity metal of at least 99,99%) which you can melt on the kitchen gas stove in a pot.

Once melted you can SLOWLY cool it and it will form a mass of spectacular, neon color, alien crystals. The purer the metal and the slower the cool the bigger the crystals.

Knock the cooking pot with a hammer and the bismuth matal comes unstuck from it, its nonsticky but of course fits the pot snugly cause it has been a molten metal of high density.

If you knock the crystal mass with a hammer you may harvest single and clusters of crystals which might look absolutely spectacular and which will get you a GOOD MARKUP sold online and especially to novelty stores.

Not happy with the shape? Throw back in the pot, remelt, its an atom so you can remelt again and again.

People will think you are some kind of alien wizard artist but all you do is buy a cheap base metal, melt it in the kitchen and solidify it.

Its alchemy, yea, but very simple.

I think you can hear the music. If you buy cheap pure metal in bulk and refine your skills you can turn one tenner into several, maybe even a hundred.

Google image bismuth crystals, they are SO BEAUTIFUL and people cant believe how dirt cheap it is to produce.

You can literally make a living off this if you go balls deep, or some pocket change here and there if you tread lightly.

Look at that stuff, isnt it just like the DMT Elves cooked that up? Picture laying them out on a festival, people will look at that high and be and you got yourself a sale.

Its like diamonds, people pay for how beautiful it is and dont realize the raw material is dirt cheap.

Bismuth is a diamond that cuts itself.

Easy money.

You heard it first right here on the Shroomery.

Start out small, see if you can pull it off and hone your skills to make beautiful crystals, then scale it up. If you become the goldfinger of bismuth crystals Chinese factories will supply it to you for under $10,000 a ton.

This is legal. People buy beauty, a natural work of art that you produce through craftsmanship so its honest work. No permits needed.

The metal is very slightly radioactive (bismuth is a thousand million times less radioactive than the uranium, is about 500 times less radioactive than average dirt.) but regarded as so nontoxic its used in pepto bismol for internal use. It melts low and boils high so almost no fumes.

If someone of you is looking for an opportunity to easily make some money, look into this. Its not rocket science, nor is it regulated, nor needs it be regulated. Keep yourself from spilling molten metal on yourself and you're good. You cahn get the metal, learn the skill, sell the product, make a buck. No crime.

Some of you are dreaming stoner dreams of cooking up a batch of drugs and making it big. No, you are not Walter White. You dont want to mess with watched chemicals, hazardous waste, illegal operations and the dog eat dog world of drug labs.

Bismuth man. Fucking bismuth.

Bismuth does sell for quite a bit when it's shiny to gem lovers. I've heard a lot of people on lot talk their rock knowledge on how long it takes the earth to shape them like that and how magical they are.

People with no chemistry and physics knowledge cannot imagine that something so beautiful can form itself from something that is dirt cheap to procure in bulk. They fetishize it and make up stories about how fancy it is to fill the gap in their knowledge.



Dont be a liar. You can of course bait people into enhancing their awe but dont feed them lies, no need, beauty sells itself.

Diamond is carbon too. They dont say that in the sales pitch at Tiffany's.

I'm too fucking lazy and financially comfortable to start a mail order business but as you can plainly see this is a scheme that just takes a bit of effort.

Its a craft that produces a work of art. You're not designing, chiselling out and painstakingly anodizing neon colors into the metal, it does it all itself.

It looks not of this world, and it is! Bismuth is only formed in supernova explosions, just like gold, its just a lot more common but theres not much use for it other than pepto bismol and looking pretty.

The market for beautiful shiny crystals at affordable prices is undersaturated. People want eyecandy and when they see it they got to have it.

The Shroomery man. We help one another.

Scientific literature concurs that bismuth and most of its compounds are less toxic compared to other heavy metals (lead, antimony, etc.) and that it is not bioaccumulative. They have low solubilities in the blood, are easily removed with urine, and showed no carcinogenic, mutagenic or teratogenic effects in long-term tests on animals (up to 2 years).[84] Its biological half-life for whole-body retention is 5 days but it can remain in the kidney for years in patients treated with bismuth compounds.[85]

Bismuth poisoning exists and mostly affects the kidney, liver, and bladder. Skin and respiratory irritation can also follow exposure to respective organs. As with lead, overexposure to bismuth can result in the formation of a black deposit on the gingiva, known as a bismuth line.[86][87][88]

Bismuth's environmental impacts are not very well known. It is considered that its environmental impact is small, due in part to the low solubility of its compounds.[89] Limited information however means that a close eye should be kept on its impact.[85][90][91]

I'm not talking about toxicity, I'm talking about destroying your pans and not being able to use them for cooking afterwards. Otherwise I'd rather buy a cheap pan from the dollar store and use that instead of the nice cooking pans I have.
