Hello everyone, in this video I'll show you how to grow a beautiful purple single crystal.
For this we’ll need the following substances - potassium and chrome alum. To begin, let’s make a mixture of alum.
To do this, take a glass and weight 100 gram of aluminum potassium sulfate and 12 grams of chromium potassium sulfate in it. Adding chrome alum will make the crystals violet.
Then, pour 400 ml of a very hot water into the glass and stir until all the alum is dissolved.
After it’s all dissolved, leave this glass for a few days to let the crystals form at the bottom. A day later pour the alum solution into another container.
As you can see a lot of beautiful little fused together crystals were formed at the bottom of the glass. Now pick open the mass of the crystals and put them in a bowl.
Choose from this mass the most beautiful and large crystal. This crystal will serve as a seed from which a large crystal will be grown in the future.
The solution, which previously was merged can be now filtered but that is optional. Now tie the seed on a thin fishing line and hung it in a solution of alum on a pencil or a stick.
Now we can only wait for the crystal to grow. Over time, water will evaporate from the solution and excess alum will form the crystal that is hanging onto the fishing line.
After some time the crystal will begin to take a regular geometric shape that is defined by the crystal lattice of a substance.
For alum it is octagonal or octahedron. Also, during the crystal growth excess crystals will grow as well on the bottom and the line of the glass, and they should be removed.
Though it’s better to save these crystals as it is possible to prepare a solution and raise other crystals out of them in the future.
Also, in single crystals growing it is important to avoid extremes of temperature and pollution of the solution.
After 2 months my crystal become large enough and I decided that I can stop its growth. I pulled out the crystal from the solution and desiccated its surface with a napkin. Next I covered the crystal with colorless nail polish, one or two layers is usually enough. It is important to protect the crystal from further destruction.
After the nail polish has been dried out it’s okay to take the crystals with bare hands. Crystal growing is very exciting activity that develops patience and mind.
I raised two purple crystals. One is dark and the other one is more transparent and bright. Now, ladies and gentlemen, as we have done a long journey growing these crystals let's just enjoy their beautifulness without any further comments.

Actually some people might have that stuff in their pantry. It's just alum which is used for pickling stuff. You could buy it in a supermarket in the spice aisle pretty easily if you wanted to.

What title said: grow purple single Crystals with salt at home. What I thought it ment: How to grow Crystals with table salt! What it actually is: How to grow purple single Crystals with types of salts that an average person wouldn't have unless they have a fascination in baking....... at home...

[@rinnhart]

They ain't table salt, but they are salts.

[@Dubswitcher]

Alum is a common home ingredient actually, that's the substance that crystallizes into an octahedron. Borax forms a neat structure too.

[@TheDrakenZ]

Alum powder is used in baking and be acquired easily at most grocery stores and walmart for sure.. alum powder is a salt..

Using table salt or other simple solubles you can make irregular, but still pretty chunky lumps of crystal with this method.

[@luisa146]

Fuck I'm gonna steal some from my university's chemistry lab, they must have them lol But probably you can get them from the internet, i guess

[@jason_paulin]

Alum powder (potassium aluminium sulfate) can be found in the spice section of many grocery stores It is used pickling recipes as a preservative to maintain fruit and vegetable crispness. Potassium chromium can easily be found on the internet (try Amazon) and is typically sold for the purpose of crystal growing.

This video is way cuter than I was expecting.

[@wirebrushproductions1001]

Two improvements: First, put a piece of cheesecloth over the top of the beaker. This will cut down on dust getting into the solution, and will minimize the number of unwanted crystals growing in the experiment. Second, once you have a medium-size crystal, make a new batch of solution using only the non-chrome version of the sulphate. Transfer the crystal to the clear solution, and you will grow a clear crystal with a purple heart.

[@JenniferHughesCOB]

You don't have to use the chromium potassium sulfate, you can use food coloring. Aluminum potassium sulfate is in the spices aisle of your grocery store labeled as alum.

[@aeriumsoft]

s-spices aisle??!

[@pietrotettamanti7239]

It could interfere with crystal growth though.

You mean you don't have access to uranium? Maybe I'm special but I have lots of uranium. I even have gold and other precious elements like platinum. I keep it in my muscles, teeth, bones, and the rest of my body. If you were to extract and concentrate these trace elements, every person is carrying around a few gold nuggets and uranium nuggets worth on them. But if you are so deprived, go smoke a cigarette. The tobacco plant absorbs many metals from the soil, that get released when combusted, and absorbed by a smokers body. Lead, mercury, you name it.

[@nickturner5721]

+chí bách trần There's also the fact that permanganate should be able to oxidise the chromium in the salt, probably to dichromate, forming the brown precipitate as well.

[@alexgoldsmith8598]

uhuju1 Crystals of salts (ionic compounds) are generally very brittle so you would have trouble shaping them also the growth cant be molded because the structure of the molecules is very specific and will only form one shape after a certain amount of growth.

I wonder if i can grow this crystal from a LED, to make them little lamps

[@Vliegendetapir]

maybe if you hang the glass part of the bulb in the solution

[@GoronTico]

It would be amazing

Sometimes I don't get how people just dislike videos🤔

[@yentlcloud]

i often do it because i keep getting suggestions of videos i dont care for, this stops youtube from recommending me things i dont want to see. but i think some people dislike this vid because its almost inpossible to understand everything he is saying. i personally dont dislike vids often unless the quality is really bad or when its filthy click bait.

Finally a way to get rich

[@DeHerg]

You could sell them to new-agers as "aura healing crystals" for a huge uptick(if you don't mind exploiting retards).

[@plank1867]

Is the fishing line just stuck on the inside of the crystal forever?

[@Malakren]

Yes, once you cut it, you can seal it with laquer, and such but the original one will alway be inside the crystal... you could use medical thread, that disolves with time, but it may dissolve before getting a crystal that size.

[@plank1867]

I was thinking about putting the seed on a chain or something to wear as a necklace. Saves me from having to inset it. Thanks for the info :)

[@fatmandoingstuff3786]

You have no idea how fragile these are do you?

[@plank1867]

+Fatguydoingstuff I don't

[@fatmandoingstuff3786]

They fall apart really easy. That was the point of the clear nail polish and that will not hold it together if treated roughly at all. Its basically the same strength of rock candy or sea salt.

[@michellebolen3892]

absolutely beautiful and I would LOVE to they this but (and PLEASE do not take this the wrong way) I did not understand the chemicals to use. I got aluminum something but that is it. G Perhaps for us harder to understand types you could put directions at the bottom? Warmest regards and best wishes, Michelle B.

[@Zellafy]

Michelle Bolen he has written everything in the description box.

[@michellebolen3892]

Zellafy thank you! this is weird when I first looked it would not show me the description.

[@derekxiaoEvanescentBliss]

wondering if you can drill a hole in it, stick an LED light in there, make a nice stand, and use it as a night light.

[@evansandthistle5356]

The crystal shown in the video? no. A much larger crystal? yes. What you would do is drill into it from the bottom then get some LED lights and put them inside. DIY nightlight?

[@derekxiaoEvanescentBliss]

I feel like you just reworded what I said in my comment lmao

[@blackrain2107]

derek xiao You could, but you would have to protect the inside because it would melt

[@derekxiaoEvanescentBliss]

Black Rain ionic crystals have insanely high melting points, if anything, I'm more concerned about the led crying the crystal out over time, causing it to crumble from the inside...

[@kenskaterskater3070]

derek xiao well you dont have to drill it ...just use a clump of clay and a pen light or lazer pointer, make sure button is on bottom so you can still turn it on and off, but recessed so it can sit on the table. And press one point of Crystal in the top , not too deep. And night light.

[@souhailnaji1343]

I'll go get my chromium potassium sulfate, I think I've left it under my bed

[@johnarmstrong5953]

Won't there be a string going in through the side to the center of the crystal?

[@ninjathisninjathat]

Not a huge price to pay

[@MrPetrochelly]

John Armstrong you can use a long hair too. Or nylon -almost invisible.

[@medexamtoolscom]

I guess to make it perfectly, you'd have to do it in 0 gravity, so that you wouldn't need to suspend it from a string, but it wouldn't sink to the bottom if there was a crystal in the middle.

[@simonelieberwirth6358]

it's so weird how it grows in such a perfect shape with sharp edges!!

[@matveicat5594]

Maybe dry them on the line and dip them in much thinner lacquer for more even surface coat, they look gorgeous, but the rippling on the surface from the brush can be improved on by dipping in very thin fast evaporating sealant(without bothering with things like airbrushing) Maybe a thinned with a fairly pure alcohol or acetone polyurethane sealant, so a thin layer deposits that flashes off fast , then cures, then maybe re dip if needed to get thicker deeper layer but still more even. Added bonus is it would get into defects better and keep them from sucking moisture as easily.

[@RealPortgasDAce]

Looks like the Resurrection Stone from Harry Potter..

[@generalpounceymcpaws3927]

Danneh W Lol true i thought the same

[@janicadalapo1250]

omg

[@MrStreaty122]

I was looking for a way to make a replica resurrection stone for my Harry Potter cosplay, this is the best thing I've seen so far. For mine I think I'm gonna hang a little Deathly Hallows symbol from the string too so that the symbol becomes embedded in the stone like you see in the movie

[@cyrilmatthew2995]

start a jewellery shop using this

[@aidanhodgetalks6055]

Cyril Matthew unfortunately these crystals are as fragile as a chuck of table salt. you would either have to put a lot of sealant on them or start making earth based minerals like feldspars and such which require a lot of heat and pressure to make anything durable enough for selling in a shop. making quartz would be the next step after making these

[@redacted8983]

[Cruel Angel's Thesis intensifies]

[@PumpkinPails]

If you were to hang something in the solution, like maybe a marble or small plastic figure, would crystals grow on it?

[@officiallparts913]

It depends reeally, the way the crystals would grow on it would be through small holest and non-even surfaces.. So if your marble is a little rough, it would be possible.. (please note that the crystal will not continue the shape of the crystal, but take its natural form until it is obstructed by something)

[@scaranpannoir]

I love purple~~

[@mamaboocee]

Making these crystals for yourself makes them that much more beautiful.
