Make Your Own Bismuth Crystal!

42 42 people viewed this event.

Ever wanted to grow your own crystal? Now’s your chance! Join MMGM Education Outreach Coordinator Deb Johnson for a hands-on science activity where you’ll create your very own shimmering bismuth crystal to take home.

Bismuth crystals are known for their rainbow hues and stair-step shapes — a result of the way light dances across their oxidized surface. It’s chemistry, it’s art, and it’s totally mesmerizing and it can be all yours!

– This activity is FREE (museum admission not required or included)
– Kids 12 and under always have free entry to the museum!
– Safe, fun, and open to all ages — no experience necessary

Whether you’re a budding scientist or just love shiny things, this drop-in event is sure to be a gem of a time!
