Bismuth is an extremely dense metal- almost as dense as uranium. It was once thought that it was the heaviest non-radioactive element, but the only naturally occurring isotope, Bismuth-209, is an alpha emitter with a half-life of 1.9E+19 years, more than a billion times longer than the predicted age of the universe. Its rate of decay is so slow that it can be treated as non-radioactive.
Its actually pretty interesting because it seems like it should be poisonous since its associated with lead on the periodic table but its not. It is however radioactive it will emit alpha particles and has a half life that is longer than the time the universe has existed. so its pretty safe.....
I have one about the same size, id say... 230 grams? It si a beautiful crystal. On a side note, I plan on growing some crystals for a science prodject, and have a question. How deep was the container you used to grow it in?
I think it weighs 300 pounds

@suskabob you don't, It's a rare formation of the metal bistuth, 89 I believe. It just forms this way
