The "Bismuth Kid"

Welcome!  Allow me to introduce myself...

My name is Jackson, and I'm a newly-graduated high school student who is passionate about science, fabrication and crystals.  

Ever since I was a toddler, I have been fascinated by crystals and minerals, their energies, and unique formations.  

In early 2021, I began exploring the process of "growing" bismuth crystals and the creative floodgates opened - I have been actively experimenting, ever since!  I love thinking "outside the box" especially, when it comes to discovering unique ways to create and artistically-present bismuth.

I am a graduate of the Meeting Street School (Providence, RI) and I currently attend The Met School (Providence, RI).

As an intern at FabNewport/PVD Young Makers, I have honed my crafting skills by using various 3D-rendering software programs which, in turn, further expanded my creative outlets to 3D printers and CNC laser cutters.

To date, I have been fortunate to sell my bismuth crystals and "splashes" at some of the largest mineral and gem shows in the country, including  the East Coast Gem & Mineral Show (MA), the Franklin Gem & Mineral Show (NC), and the world-renowned Tucson Gem & Mineral Show (AZ).

Element 83 is my first official small hobby business and I greatly appreciate your support!

My Creative Process...

There are so many cool ways to create with this metal!

Raw Material
 

Whenever possible, I purchase my raw bismuth ingots from local crystal and mineral dealers.  

Artistic Design
Bismuth "Splashes"

My first bismuth splash creation was a happy- "accident."  One day, I poured-off one of my crystal grows and stumbled upon a fun new aspect of artistic bismuth art!

Bismuth Crystals
& Geodes

In addition to my bismuth crystals, I also make geodes.  I am always experimenting, creating different shapes, sizes, and heat-controlled iridescence.
