List of countries by bismuth production

Bismuth /ˈbɪzməθ/ is a chemical element that has the symbol Bi and atomic number 83. This heavy, brittle, white crystalline trivalent other metal has a pink tinge and chemically resembles arsenic and antimony.

Of all the metals, it is the most naturally diamagnetic, and only mercury has a lower thermal conductivity. It is was also historically considered as the last naturally occurring non-radioactive element, although it has since been shown to be very slightly radioactive, with a half-life longer than the estimated heat death of the universe.

Bismuth compounds are used in cosmetics and in medical procedures. As the toxicity of lead has become more apparent in recent years, alloy uses for bismuth metal as a replacement for lead have become an increasing part of bismuth's commercial importance.
