bismuth

Iridescent brittle element

Bismuth is a brittle, crystalline metal with a pinkish-white hue, known for forming striking rainbow-colored oxide crystals when cooled slowly.

It's used in pharmaceuticals like Pepto-Bismol, low-melting alloys, and cosmetics.

Bismuth is notably non-toxic compared to neighboring elements on the periodic table, often substituting for lead in applications.
