My name is Tobias and I live in North Vancouver, British Columbia. As we all have had our challenges during COVID, I additionally have been dealing with some mental health issues, like many people have or continue to face. During a low period, I came across a piece of bismuth that I had found as a young child. I got this inner feeling that I had to research more about it, something drew me to this piece of silvery shiny metal. One thing lead to another, and I found myself attempting to make a crystal. After four months of experimenting, I have made hundreds of crystals and geodes (in temperatures ranging from +9C to -7C as I work outdoors in my carport!). Creating these magical pieces has not only given me a sense of calm, but also a sense of extreme accomplishment, pride and purpose during a time when the world seems to be in chaos. To create from scratch; a unique and beautiful piece of work truly confirms that Bismuth stones are transformational!

Every single crystal, cube or geode that I make turns out different and unique each time. The photos show you examples of bismuth crystals and geodes I have previously made. While they give you a good idea of what your particular piece may look like; please remember that each piece created is truly UNIQUE! No two are ever the same. All of my work is “as you see it”, no soldering, photo-editing or altering of crystals has occurred. Once finished, I file the edges of the geode to ensure the maximum amount of natural light finds its way to the crystals within.
