How to Grow Crystals at Home (Compilation) 

hi kind of random but i’ve got a question, do you have any tips for growing crystals? i have a few crystal growing kits, i wanted to make sure i don’t make the kit and end up with pieces im disappointed in when i go to use them so i don’t feel like it was a waste lol if you have any tips and it’s a matter of what kind of kit, i can check what they use. mostly i was wondering what the best way to sorta “maximize the return” of crystals would be 😹 and if there are any particularly sensitive components to look out for. i’ve made rock candy before but it was as a child and it’s obviously a bit different than actual chemicals for crystals lol i haven’t been able to find a very good video with real tips, just videos of the process and results /:

@@MrsAnnThropy This clip was fairly informative about the chemicals and how to grow them. Crystal kits are great .....some of the chems in this clip are easily gettable .....I'd give the kits a try ...they'll be good fun. Do the kits enable you to grow colourful crystals ? We've had many kits over the years and have grown some beautiful colourful crystals. I've watched a few good clips about growing them....keep looking and do some research online as to where/how to get the chems to try this stuff out. Have fun. xxx

​@@MrsAnnThropy don't shake or move them or it will break crystal growth.❤

I want to do some real bad

The entire plot of Breaking Bad

yeah, I'm saving my money

I am also saving my money

Some of these chemicals can be deadly !!! Some are very carcinogenic meaning they cause cancer . Do not handle them with your bare hands !! And make them OUTSIDE fumes are very bad to breathe .

Borax and Epsom salts are very common household products...

If I had a nickel every time someone said that, I would have cancer

Yeah, nice DIY aside from giving you cancer!

Yeah. PPE is a must!

Some one get the OSHA officer we need to regulate this man out of existance and so no one but my rich friends can ever profit again. Basicly what i hear every time i hear ppe

Which one are toxic?

😂😂😂

Some of the material can be easily bought from grocery store like broax, alum

Lol

Stole some from school

the sulfat crystals u can make it with sulfuric acid, like the blue one u can make it with copper (and sulfuric acid. but remember be carefull with sulfuric acid

Yes

Its totally fine unless someone knows about it

Maybe he was trying to sell them while containing a toxic chemical or something, apart from that, you are literally doing nothing wrong😂

It looks so cool I cant handle it

I would suggest copper sulfate

Could always try resin

@@jessicanavarro8169 copper sulfate is blue

did you completed it?

Honestly just buy a mold and cast it in resin, way easier and you get to decide on the exact shape

Not very strong. The ingredients used for growing them are all different types of salts so they are quite brittle if not cared for. Plus they will dissolve if moisture gets on them unless you use some sort of preservative but that ruins the overall effect.

most if not all of these are highly water soluble salts and such. so i imagine they arent much harder than table salt. if you wanted to grow something like a ruby youd need insanely high temperatures and the base silicate powders to produce them. these crystals are neat but arent necessarily the same thing as mineral specimens mined from the ground.

@iamafraidofwomen I wish it was for drugs...

It’s just salt and food coloring

it is not possible to control the exact sharp of the crystal. however, different chemical will have different shape, which is very interesting

it depends on the crystalline structure of the salt, eg: sodium chloride forms perfect cubes.

Lols "HOLLOW", not hallow. When something is hallow it means it's something religiously sacred or holy. Like, "you are jot walking on hallowed ground".

Please check this video for detail DIY Crystal at Home (2) - Copper(II) Sulfate ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-k3nClG-DT7w.html

Most of chemical I bought is AR grade

The (II) is the charge of the copper, since the charge of sulfate is -2.

Copper (I) Chloride and Copper (II) Chloride are drastically different. Never heard of Copper (I) Sulphate though, it's usually included for stoichimetry reasons

Do 2 cách kết tinh khác nhau nên tạo ra 2 dạng tinh thể khác nhau. 1) Tạo tinh thể (tt) nhỏ: đun sôi dung dịch CuSO4.5H2O để nguội 2 giờ, sau đó đưa vào tủ lạnh ở ngăn mát ~ 3 giờ, khi lấy ra sẽ thu được nhiêu tt nhỏ và đều. 2) Tinh thể lớn: đun sôi rồi để nguội dần, không lắc, ~1 giờ rồi bỏ 1 ít tinh thể đồng sunfat vào và để yên không động đậy khoảng vài tuần sẽ thu được tinh thể lớn.

You are create the crystal seed by yourself, please help some of my previous video

Amazon has a lot of these. I just bought copper sulfate (10 pound bag) that is 99% pure which is lab grade

Borax and alum

Borax is fast

Yeah definitely, you really just need a larger and larger container so the crystal can fit, and enough reagant to make the crystals

And where do I get the crystal seed?

​@@jurassicdocs Amazon!🤓

More solution - > larger crystal

Depends on how much you put the chemical powder

Ok thanks

@@anthonyschembari2480 They can get bigger and bigger over time. Makings sure to filter the solution to keep the competing crystals will help grow them faster. They will get bigger if you put them in larger and larger containers like a bucket but you have to use a lot of super saturated solution. Evaporation is how most of these crystals grow so adding new solution will also be helpful

no.

Same i wanna do this😭😭😭😭 i hppe i find ingreediants

ADP give the best results and I use food coloring

Lol the "seed crystal" is just the first ingredient in each misture. Like copper sulfate saturated solution, , the seed is the copper sulfate. I think he put a piece of cotton from up, with some copper sulfate on it, so the saturated solution grow crystals starting from up. Never heard sodium acetate "hot ice" experiment? Well just see it on RU-vid, the base is the same.

the shape of crystal you got is different

1-2 days

Thanks

Only with very high pressure
