Bismuth

Bismuth is a white, brittle metal that forms in complex geometric shapes. After being mined, it usually takes on a slight pinkish hue, though some simple alchemical tricks with weathering and vinegars can be used to produce a rainbow array of colours from deep blues all the way to bright yellows. This, in addition to its natural geometric shapes see it find favour with many within the Realm as it is both beautiful and aniconic in accordance with Immaculate teachings.

Bismuth is also powdered for use to add an iridescent sheen to certain cosmetics, as part of medicines to treat stomach ailments, and as an ingredient in certain fireworks.
