Stunning! I have seen some home grown single crystals., Not only a small seed is needed, but putting it in a very small and narrow hole within the crystalliser is crucial. By introducing a vortex into the solution you would end up with the best looking crystals! It's amazing that they grow following their lattice structure, allowing us to see in human dimensions the atomic bonding behaviour. Crystals were a crucial step in hinting us about atoms in the 1700's when people would break them and get blown away by the fact they would always get cut/broken at the same angle! Best regards, love your videos :)

I'd love to see more content on growing crystals. Would it be possible to grow quartz crystals at home?

I'm afraid not. Silica (quartz) is extremely insoluble, which is why it makes up most kinds of sand. (The Sahara is basically a landscape of tiny quartz crystals). If you have the patience, you can grow the sulphate crystals that we grew, but you'll need to varnish them afterwards or they'll dry out and crack.
