[@sajanavithanapathirana6761]

What difference is there between the processes needed to make single crystals and polycrystals? Need to know thx

[@litethedarks]

I’m pretty sure you just use a higher concentration of copper sulfate making it want to grow faster in other directions

[@chakrauniverse860]

From the videos you like I thought this might interest you, I went to their internet site and found some pretty fantastic things.

[@redeyestones3738]

Ya I found out some things too. Like if you hold a copper sulfate crystal in your hand for longer than 20 seconds it starts burning your skin. Also, if you accidentally drop a crystal on the floor, it will shatter. Hope you clean that really well, before the dog licks it, or missing pieces are injested by children.

[@mbyrne1212]

When you fiilter the solution each week do you need to add more copper sulphate to the solution or just carry on as it is

[@stapleremover1213]

The polycrystal looks cool

[@CityRockhounding]

Amazing work, just beautiful! Thanks for sharing!

[@anarchink9978]

Hello, I'm going to make some crystals of copper sulphate, but I'm worried if they do not form crystals on the bottom ... Advice?

[@theoneandonly15]

If you dissolve more solute into a hot saturated solution of copper sulfate then put the crystal back into the super saturated solution it will grow much faster. Mine got to the size of my hand just in 2-3 weeks, and I am still growing it in a large pickle jar

[@Schixotica]

Say you get a big tray instead of a beaker and a lot more solution, will the crystals that form at the bottom of the tray keep growing as long as you keep reviving the solution?

[@brandoncrandall5595]

Mine was very cloudy when I did it. I stirred a lot, should I keep going

[@kandasakura3]

Hello, I'm totally new with making crystal. Can I reheat instead of filter the solution once a week?

[@Evelynn_xoxo]

this is amazing

[@kellogdovahkiin2187]

We made them in second yr but we stoped after they formed . We didnt grow them bigger . Unfortunatly

[@bridgetmiddleton3516]

A layer of crystals did not form. Is it because like the temperature is warmer where I live

[@333XuanKy]

After you have created a crystal, will it dissolve again? I want to make several large ones to put into my aquarium.

[@demijunejohnstone9226]

yesterday as i finished some coper sulphate solution i filted it heated it and got crystal instantly as it cooled. i made more today and cant get it to crystal again what am i doing wrong

[@77Sofiah]

Why do you need to filter the solutio before putting the crystel seed in there?

[@aaa4852]

I have a question. Do we get a larger crystal with a single crystal or with a polycrystalline? 🤔

[@romanmay2867]

do they grow into molds? like fill a test tube?

[@stateofgrind1]

Thank You!

[@syieluing1]

Hi I'm trying to make the CuSO4 crystal now, but I have a question: How do you remove the thread (used to hang the cystal seed) from the grown crystal?Looks like it's contained in the growing crystal, and I think i'll destroy the crystal if I pull it out.

[@DIYbama]

you should use a very thin fishing line as the thread, so that you no need to pull it out

[@sunainagautam]

I didn't understand.....how will fishing thread help

[@skylersg9244]

So you can cut it off and it wont be seen inside the crystal

[@thirsty1629]

I suppose you can try burning off the string if you have a stub, but I’m not sure how it will affect the crystal itself

[@heyyoureprettygood6033]

If the crystal contacts with heat, the heat will disolve the water, and the crystal starts to turn white, but then you can make it blue again with several methods

[@muhammadnihalhabib5094]

is it possible to crystallize the excess copper sulfate from the solution

[@hhstdgh5647]

hey dude, what kind of cloth you use to filter the solution?

[@m_3360]

Is it safe to make jewelery out of these singel crystals??

[@pipperrytook2314]

How long can you leave this in its solution? How big can they grow?

[@trushavirani7239]

In which wire they got seed to grow was that copper wire??

[@jeffcurry4451]

does it matter if you "add the water" to the copper sulfate or do you have to "add the copper sulfate" to the water.... i tried the "super saturated polycrystal method" but after 2 to 3 hours there is nothing still, but I added the water into the powder, we'll wait 24hrs to see, I guess

[@jasenkamada9181]

THIS IS AMAZING

[@assassin8759]

why do i need to leave the filtered solution undisturbed?

[@dungphamnguyenquoc7012]

Tysm this video helps me a lot

[@kegluwen]

do you have to resaturate the solution before/after each filtering?

[@DIYbama]

+Mike McDonald no

[@blacklotus2019]

Is there a way to prevent it from dissolving after the crystals come in contact with water?

[@ammaradnan4338]

thats why we use nail polish to make it water proof

[@dulightning9873]

when u finish using a crystal seed can u use another one n the same solution?

[@soewithanumber]

Yes

[@OmniversalInsect]

Don't think so cos the dissolved copper sulphate is crystalised on the string so there is less in the solution

[@midwestchem368]

I buy a brand called zepp I believe it is. Its like a pond cleaner or something its been a long while since ive used copper sulfate but in the USA a quick google search will yield this product. Ive found it in menards and Lowes but I'm sure home depot probably carries it. The zepp brand copper sulfate is the purest. Nice chunky blue crystals. Other brands are a lighter blue which maybe lower purity but it could be different amount of water of crystallization idk.

[@J.RRandallIllinois]

Does ambient temperature of the solution affectvthevrate of crystal growth? Can you manipulate the shape of crystal by introducing a strong magnetic field? Thanks, cool video.

[@Linus-nq2op]

Theoretically a magnetic field can affect the Cu2+(copper) and SO42- (sulfate) ions in the solution, but to make visible manipulations to the shape you'd need an extremely strong magnetic field, if it does work at all.

[@arabianmallu7043]

Poly crystal looks great

[@mariannenguyenf2433]

Do you keep reusing the same solution for 6 weeks? just filter it? what about evaporation? help please. :)

[@sarahhavillamelooliveira5825]

Is it possible to dissolve fluorescent pigments inside?

[@jerrycihangir2129]

I was thinking, would I could be able to cut it like a normal gem like amethyst and jade? and while in the midst of growing it (the seed crystal) would the form stay or would it grow in its regular geometric shape? also what are the variables for it to grow clearer or darker? Also, how would the gem react to heat and what is its hardness in Moh's scale or anything comparable to?

[@DIYbama]

+Jerry The Hellbound 1.the crystal is quite fragile do it is not suggest to be cut 2.the shape of the crystal is determined by crystal lattice of the substance, not the shape of the crystal seed, do u can every single crystal i grow is nearly the same 3. You cannot control the color of the crystal, even darker or clearer 4.sorry, no idea for final question

[@Gameboy2218]

Jerry The Hellbound I know that it melts (disassociates) at 110°C. I can't give a a Moh's scale but it is sturdier than glass but still quite fragile. Maybe 3-5?

[@lorettacompher7744]

It looked like the seed crystal was the same for the single crystal and the cluster one. Why did they grow different?

[@DIYbama]

single crystal -> in the saturated solution (since i have filtered once), cluster crystal -> in the super saturated solution

[@israeltorres3215]

[@DIYbama]

I just use cheap filter in the lab

[@Forest-ji8mf]

I love crystals

[@WayneRiesterer]

Is there a way of suspending the seed crystal in solution without tethering it (solutions with differing densities or something)? It would be nice to grow a pure crystal without the nylon embedded in it. You achieved some descent sized crystals though. The spinning display is a nice touch too! I planned on using a bottom-lit LED display, but didn't think of a spinning platform...until now of course :)

[@HogwartsBasement]

If your able to only suspend the tip of the seed in the solution this would hopefully stop it engulfing the string

[@mariasassya]

I put more water than needed and i do not have enough CuSO4. can i do anything to get the copper sulfate powder back and redo the experiment again? because i do not have more hydrous copper sulphate

[@promontorium]

Boil it down. Or just leave it out and the water will slowly evaporate.

[@eriklucas7689]

What's the difference in procedure for the poly crystal vs the single crystal besides the concentration of the copper (II) sulfate solution?

[@DIYbama]

Yes, concentration for copper sulfate is higher when i grow ploycrystal

[@IrIcHiHaRu]

What happens if you dont paint them afterwards? Do they just wear away?

[@Noobixm]

It’s to protect from moisture

[@RaviSharma-kk2cj]

I have tried it but there is no formation of crystals

[@Myrddin_x]

[@NextGenerationHealth]

[@harmonist-arkya]

Can I use only copper sulfate?

[@Benjamin-zh4wn]

I am goin to try this but do you have to cut the fishing line off when it is ready??

[@wesleymorrison9941]

yes, but no. The fishing line will still be on the inside of the crystal, no matter. But yes, because otherwise you'd have a crystal on a line

[@matteoprato5497]

Why nail polish? Does it melt if you touch it or is it toxic?

[@NEONXZ47]

wait why do we need to paint it with nail polish? and is it still toxic when crystallized?

[@DIYbama]

For protection , you can touch it with bare hand then

[@I_dont_sleep]

At the start of the video, you mentioned something about the copper sulfate being moderately toxic. Once they crystal is grown, is it still toxic?

[@DIYbama]

Yes, if you don't eat the crystal, it is still very safe

[@sammyboy2007]

@@DIYbama dont eat it lmao *proceeds to eat crystal*

[@demetrifrost2546]

What's the purpose of the nail polish? Can I use spray varnish or even resin to lock in and protect it?

[@alanbanh]

As the crystals have water in them, nail polish prevents it from drying out. Without it, it will dry up and be crumbly.

[@Deviance190]

Actually, the crystals formed are pure CuSO4, which will absorb water from the air and the surface will become CuSO4 - 5H2O which is crumbly. Also Copper(II) Sulfate is classed as a corrosive agent at high molarity. therefore the varnish is to protect it from the moisture in the air and protect your hands too.

[@Linus-nq2op]

@@Deviance190 Close but wrong, the crystals formed are CuSO4*5H2O (visible by its blue color), if you leave it in dry air, it can dry out and form CuSO4 (without the water), which will make a white crumbly solid on the surface.

[@jackiewhusie5454]

Hello. Very new to crystal growing, but really love it. I tried following your experiment and was very careful about using exact measurements, distilled water, and following your steps to a T. My solution is not crystalizing though. There are some kind of tan-ish granules that are collecting at the bottom of my solution. Almost looks like sand. I filtered them off and let it sit another 24hours, but now there is more sand-like stuff and no crystal growth though the water is evaporating. I did not order my copper (II) sulfate through your link. Is it possible my sulfate is contaminated? Is there something else I may be doing wrong? Thank you for any advice you can give me. I want to grow one of these beauties for a good friend's 30th.

[@OmniversalInsect]

Yeah it sounds like your copper sulfate might be impure, maybe try buying from somewhere else or like you did try purifying it more

[@lestionual1369]

That sand you removed were the small copper sulphate crystals yet to grow more. Its just like the process of seeding but naturally. Other than that u might have not filtered the solution properly which may result in getting powdered type of copper sulphate.

[@lestionual1369]

Another chance is that u didn't heat the solution till 1/3rd of the solution is evaporated.

[@shivamtravadi4010]

Do I HAVE TO filter it ?....

[@Sarhaly15]

would it be possible for these to grab a shape? like if i put the seed in some kind of mold?

[@-yaoshmite-1581]

Unfortunately, it isn't possible as crystallization is highly unpredictable, even with a mold there would always be unfilled empty spaces which would ruin the molded shape in the first place.

[@danklyf4202]

That would be dope af girl.

[@tangycuplg1690]

Is it possible for the salt to be a different color or can you die the water? Next question if you leave it out for longer will it get bigger?

[@thevancouverguy]

No its not. Its not the water that gives it its color. Its the copper sulfate. Copper sulfate crystals are blue. You cant just die it another color.

[@Dylan-lq5fj]

Will Cooper 2+ Sulphate on its own still work?

[@ShubhamYadav-oc7oj]

[@sneik09saul]

Could it be copper sulfate with factory purity ? Or it has to be analytic purity ?

[@Gameboy2218]

Saul Henandez 96% purity or higher at least, but the higher it is the clearer your crystals get.
