How much money is Bismuth worth?

Answer 1

Pricing will depend upon a number of factors. The vast majority of crystalline bismuth specimens on the market are manmade, grown from a low temperature melt of very high purity bismuth slowly cooled. These are priced by color, size, and quality of crystallization, and the going rate of .999 pure bismuth. Decent clusters a few cm across, fairly light weight, might go for ten bucks. Superb large individual hopper crystals of, say, ten cm or more, colorful and undamaged, go for hundreds. That's the manmade stuff. If you're talking about naturally occurring bismuth, that's a whole 'nother ballgame. Naturallly occurring bismuth isn't actually that rare, in massive or nugget form, but truly crystalline specimens are very rare, coveted, and valuable. Consider yourself lucky if you can find a nice miniature for $1,000. Usually German, very old stuff, herringbone formation. Not pretty! Be sure it is in fact crystalline...lots of semi-metals show nice shiny cleavage faces that are sold as crystals, when they aren't.
