How to Grow Crystals at Home (Compilation)

[@rippi37]

I was a high school science teacher for 10 years and used to love blowing the minds of the year 7 kids( 12 year olds) showing them these sorts of fun experiments . There are lots of cool things that can be done at home ( once you get your hands on the chemicals ) . Fun video xxx

[@MrsAnnThropy]

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 /:

[@rippi37]

@@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

Where is the crystal seed making video? I have looked in your channel and can't seem to find it. If anyone could send a link it would be very helpful

[@starchild7843]

Are they even safe to touch, especially the last 2? I know you can paint them with 2 coats of clear fingernail polish, but still...the very last one has me worried. Guess it might be the name that is doing it. Handling them after gettin them out of the solution dangerous? Is there any harmful effects

[@bonster4986]

The copper sulphate one is unsafe to toch with bare hands, For any other crystals search the chemical online and look at the warning labels

[@Nervii_Champion]

What is the hardness and crystal type etc etc? Would be interesting if you could grow actual semi-precious and precious stones

[@Gemzstone1]

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.

[@an8thdimensionalbeing142]

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.

[@PawelHerok]

Great video Ah yes most common things in home

[@Sunshine48541]

😂😂😂

[@empty107-ninjathecat2]

Could you make a video of making crystal using salt please

[@anthonyrickardii6198]

Awesome video! Question is there or how would want to shape the crystal like a a hallow tube or any design? Is it possible as well?

[@DIYbama]

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

[@hayemiranda7647]

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

[@laurenevers8644]

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".

After some time they just turn white. Also they are extremely toxic and a potent carcinogen

[@vesking3000]

Can I put the seed in a mold so it will take the mold shape?

[@bonster4986]

No, you will be left with tiny crystals unless your mold is not fully closed of and placed in a beaker twice it's size and filled with the crystal solution

[@xX_TrashTaco94_Xx]

okay, so can i use sugar as the seed and would it be edible?

[@bunnies8819]

no.

[@McDragon1775]

Awesome video, thank you! Why did your two copper sulfate dips come out so drastically different? Also, why the (II), is that something I need to take into account when looking to purchase the ingredients for this?

[@DIYbama]

Please check this video for detail DIY Crystal at Home (2) - Copper(II) Sulfate kzbin.info/www/bejne/oWTRdJ99YqmHbdk

[@DIYbama]

Most of chemical I bought is AR grade

[@dysk-0]

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

[@borgmardunkleson2225]

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

Question for the first Crystal if you leave it in for like let's say 3 weeks would it be bigger? And also if you used a different kind of crystal seed would it make a different color like an amethyst seed?

Depends on how much you put the chemical powder

[@LiterallyYoungNeil]

Ok thanks

[@nicholasjohnston4571]

@@LiterallyYoungNeil 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

I would like to ask a question please. How can I create or find crystal seeds for the "alum" because you show how to grow a crystal with a pipe cleaner and not a crystal seed.

[@CasuallyFeral]

tl;dr You don't need one! Go right ahead with the pipe cleaner. Long explanation: So, how this works... When left to sit in water, these substances all will collect into "a crystal." What we're commonly used to thinking of as shiny, glittery crystals are just ways that particles stick to one another, in chains that reflect light and have these chaotic shapes. You can think of them like making a paper-clip chain -- they like to form bonds kind of like that! This is why a crystal "seed" is helpful, because it's a tiny piece of crystal from a previous batch. It will draw other pieces to it in order to make an even bigger crystal. A crystal ""seed"" is just a piece of the same crystal. There are other tiny crystal pieces floating in the water that are looking for their friends, so having a big group of crystal pieces will attract others so they can become friends, and form a bigger crystal. Some substances you don't have to do that with to get a great result. You can think of the vessel as being so full of "crystal seeds," it just needs something with a lot of surface area to grip on to. The big, fuzzy pipe cleaner works good for this.

[@AlessandroArzani-tw1cx]

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 KZbin, the base is the same.
