# Bismuth Crystal Scarab

An iridescent bismuth crystal scarab built from stepped hopper-crystal terraces and rainbow oxide films. Morphing across four geometric states under spectral balance, heavy stepped bismuth plates under bass give way to open faceted elytra, a nested hopper mandala, and needle-fine crystal spire quills under treble.
