Science! ✨ My first attempt at growing crystals...on a chicken bone
I'm honestly pretty shocked at how many actually formed (I pretty much expected a mess). I also thought the color would help me see them grow, but I'm pretty sure it wouldn't make a difference. #lessonslearned #alchemy #iwillneverbebored
Growing crystals is a fun way for people of all ages to get interested in mineral collecting, and the mineral sciences! Here are two examples of some synthetic minerals, the first one is easy to make, the second...not so much , which goes to show you that there is a career in figuring out how to grow weird stuff
- calcanthite, a copper sulfate heptahydrate
- natrolite, a gallium silicate hydrate version
.
There are so many different kinds of crystals you can grow at home, and most are fairly stable so that you can put them on a bookshelf. Also, having large crystals in hand that students make themselves gives them motivation, and a chance to really observe their symmetry and form.
.
Plus, sometimes these synthetic materials haven’t been found to exist in nature yet, so you could come up with something truly unique!

Whoa! Check out this new crystallized rhinoceros beetle! This guy is a work in progress. I will post pics when I get him finished up. .
