#18: Beautiful Bismuth

I recently created some scientific splatter art with molten bismuth metal.

As the hot bismuth solidified, it formed iridescent oxide layers in a variety of colors.
The liquid metal also created these vein-like patterns as its surface became stretched. 
Here you can even see tiny crystals that began to form.
This piece was made using a round mold which ended up leaking.
