      I think the crystals would be great way to repair a tooth. What about making the crystals form symmetrically, or shaping the crystal afterwards? I really like this idea and I'll visit the page to shop. Cheers from St. Pete.

      Hello. I'm wandering if it's possible to grow crystals inside some metalic or plastic pipes (on inner and/or outer surface), or other od shapes.

    Soo cool! You should do more videos with her and crystallize different treasures you find!!! Not so bad finding those heart breaking half meg tooths now!

    Thank you. I admire your enthusiasm and creativity
    I’m a paleontologist with several thousand fossils in my collection....all types but mostly Dino. Every so often over the decades I come across fossils with some degree of crystal attachment,..usually ( but not always) replacing bone interiors...often calcite, pyrite or various ‘salts’. Anyway, Your video is so much appreciated as now I have the challenge of transforming ‘secondary’ specimens into display specimens for my home fossil museum. I’’m going to start with Tyrannosaur tooth fragments. I usually don’t collect them in the field but if successful, then it won’t be the proverbial ‘groan’ when I find a broken slice rather than a complete tooth .
    Yes, you are doing ‘science’. Be proud of it!

    Can these crystals if they have been formed dissolve by air, and are they safe after becoming crystals if they are put in aquarium water?, and are there any side effects on the skin if we put the finished crystal in our hands

    How do you seal your potassium sulfate? I made some that were gorgeous, and in a few weeks they turned to white dust. When I saw what was starting to happen, I tried a sealer spray and it couldn't stop it. You're awesome!

    Chrome alum and alum generally grws in the cubic system of symmetry. They are bipyramidal or octohedral. A euhedral solid containing 8 sides all being generally equalateral triangles, tetrahedral is 4 sides of equalateral triangles, different shape. I've been growing alum on and off forc41 years ve never seen tetrahedral crystals. Cubic, octohedral or cube octagonal.

    Does she add sulfuric acid to just this specific solution or can you add it to different chemicals? I'm having SUCH a hard time growing Potassium Ferricyanide on a skull and stumbled across this video (super helpful BTW). I tried doing some research on it but found minimal results :,)

    Can you please do a video on growing Quartz crystals or M-state crystals !

    • @audiotron1003
      @audiotron1003 Год назад

      Not sure how you could grow quartz, it takes heat and vulcanicity of some kind. Salts like these are evaporite deposates and grow by evapraton. Think seas and lakes like the dead sea. Quartz grows like cooling Rock lavas think granite. You u would need special industrial equipment to grow silicon dioxide into quartz. Rather like qrowing synthetic rubies and sapphires
