Vism

Vism, wismuth, tectargen, and also sometimes bismuth, is a soft metal that occurs either as a mineral in its lesser forms, or more commonly, as a gemstone analog. It has an iridescent luster and forms characteristic cascading, snaking structures resembling platforms.
The base variety most often called wismuth or bismuth is dull-colored, brittle, tightly wrapped around its gangue, and remains static. The gemstone quality vism, on the other hand, is brilliantly multicolored, more durable, forms with little gangue, and can be found still snaking and growing in the mine. Once it is excavated, it can even continue to grow in its patterns.
