- Опубликовано: 11 июн 2024
- This video gives an inside look on how to crystallize objects, skulls, and bones including fossils like broken Megalodon Shark Teeth. Kat from @Katscrystalz goes through the necessary steps to learn how to grow crystals on objects using Mohr’s salt and gives examples of other lab grown crystals such as Chrome Alum, an Amethyst like crystal, and Pottassium Ferrocyanide, a ruby like crystal.

We plan on hunting for a diversity of fossils all throughout the US this year with other fossil hunters such as Paleocris, Wildkyle, Everdayimshoveling, Ancient Artworks, Shark Teeth and Fossils and Bone Valley Collections. We hope to find beautiful Megalodon teeth, gems and minerals, great white shark teeth, artifacts, arrowheads, and megafauna creatures like mammoths and mastodons. We will also include videos on how to fossil hunt in Florida and explore discussions on some of our favorite topics in paleontology, archeology, and geology!

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.
Hi!! Is your Instagram deleted?? Mine was (I think) and I see the same problem happend to you! If you want to connect send me a message and I'll fb pm you!
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!
Every time I find a broken one now, She goes, "OH! That's a good crystal tooth" :)
Still shocked you only have 13k subs.. you deserve so much more man. The knowledge, the adventure... one of my favorite ytbers.
Coolness to the extreme! She's so talented, thanks for showing us her work and her process.
Wow, impressive and entertaining. Thank you Cat.
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!
I don't know who's prettier you or the crystal? you are so pretty talking science and stuff. what a good video. thank you for all your time and effort you put into this because these are beautiful and so are you
Enjoyed your video!! Thanks for sharing!!
Holy cow, how cool is that? And a great science lesson as well!
Very useful I'm definitely going to be trying this on my sculptures
That is the most...AWESOME stuff on Shark teeth l have ever looked at....So dang beautiful WOW....Thanks very much....!
i want to thank you for getting me into this hobby. i am now going to also start making fossil hunting videos.
I just got into crystal growing and this video was amazing to watch. I'm subscribed and can't wait for the next video
How many awesome crystals have you made?
Omg! This is awesome! I love it!
WOW!! Just found this channel. I will be subscribing to both of you. Awesome job.
So glad that you enjoy it! We cant wait to share more with you!
🤯 This is SUPER COOL!!!
Thank you for a very interesting video ! Take care , stay safe and healthy there ! Still doing well here in Kansas !
I love your tutorial, thank you for sharing your knowledge with us!
Where do you get your supplies and all the acids, minerals and salts?
Great Job!!
Thank you Scientist Kat!
this is AWESOMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ive actually been considering trying to make Potassium ferrioxalate
Great channel. Cheers
Thanks for correcting the "magic" comment to "it's science."
Very nice kat
amazing channel, from France
Love the videos!
Wow, she really knows how to do this stuff
Wow awesome video, beautiful
Hello, thank you for this tutorial, your crystals look amazing!
I was wondering, are all salt crystals safe to grow on organic materials, such as skulls?
Cheers!
Sooo kewl!
Great video ! But where do you purchase the chemicals? Seems pretty hard to find ( like the potassium hexacyanoferrate(iii) ).
this is just magic
Cool man!
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!
Very interesting. Is it possible to fill in a broken edge of tooth and file down the crystals to make it look like a whole tooth just half fossil half crystal?
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 :,)
Put a light behind the crystal's next time. Super cool!
Will do. Thank you!
Cool😮
Neat!
I’m curious, what do you use to seal these? Also why do they need sealed?
Where did she find her alum powder iv tried a few kinds no luck yet turns to paste? Iv got her armadillo skull from a show i met yall
The crystals are so pretty
hi how could you store the borax crystal? do you use varnish? what type of? Thanks
Very cool, your's look amazing. I use Borax, Makes big or small, grows overnight also makes big beautiful crystals. I use food coloring or I make clear crystals. The only bad thing Borax covers the whole object.
How do you seal them? Do you have a video?
They look amazing! How were the crystals and teeth treated after being in the solution? Did you seal them with something?
Yes! We sealed them with Cyanocrylate and nail polish!
She needs her own channel!
maybe you can paint a layer of silica sodium first allow to harden then place the tooth in?
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 the crystal dissolve overtime if i wear it on my neck ?
OMG Kat is one crazy scientist. Thank you so much for sharing this it was very interesting. Great song for Kat. LAB RULES Dua Lipa "New Rules" Parody
Can you please do a video on growing Quartz crystals or M-state crystals !
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
Can i have a address recomendation for a place to hunt these ive always wanted to and finally have a week that I can travel would very much appreciate thanks
The 4 thumbs down people must have been browsing upside down. Great vid!
It’s just the weird spot of the dislike button, I’ve accidentally pressed it so many times on multiple other body by mistake
My question is: can it get wet? How do you preserve if it is in an wet environment?
So informative ❤️ yoi two are couple goals 😂
Where does a person get the chemicals from?
No need to gild the lily. The lily is beautiful in its own form.
All of the shown crystals are water-based that means they will be dissociating on air, right?
New Subscription here!!
Glad to have you and cant wait to share more videos with you!
I've been living under a rock..... That magnetic mixer spun me out.... I wan't one......Probably just to freak my friends out...... P.S. Just subscribed. I guess I better learn to make crystals to justify getting the spin out gizmo.
Genaue Mengenangabe wäre ja gut gewesen.. Wieviel ammoniunsulfat hat sie da rein gemacht? Der Schritt wurde erstmal gar nicht gezeigt
Do you make tourmaline 🔮?
That is about the prettiest mad scientist I have seen for quite awhile. Still mad though.
Can you do that to a Katana?
I miss Breaking Bad..
We do too. Backup plan? JK
@@DiggingScience 🤣 i can just see it, disheveled in white tightiees, holding a meg tooth with blue crystals!
💚💚💚💚
Nice tank top bro
Wow, I thought scientists were sposed to look like Big Bang Theory. Smoking hot and smart as hell. What a combination.
11:45 MAYURI from steins gate ????
👍👏👏👍👏👏👍👏👏👍👏❤️
crystalize a sneeker!
will this work with human bones
Don't Eat the science that should be a sticker lol
I didn't know ur going out with a model scincest lol
Great video, but please you to tripod! The constant movement of the camera is difficult to watch
She is 🔥
😲🤓🤩
Science/magic, potatoe/potahtoe. lol
Tomorrow's Headline: "Salts Discovered on Megalodon Tooth Proves They Suffered from Hypertension!"
Couldn’t find your Insta 🧐
She is on a hiatus from Instagram unfortunately.
need to see like ten horse teeth coming out of one giant crystal
but why?
Name of that girl ?
Can I buy one of these beauties from you?
You can! The link to Kat's etsy store is listed below :)

Eye candy all around I say.
How about meth crystal show us how to make pls..
pm
She is cute☺️
Dang she's nice
"don't eat the science"
What about making a kidney stone crystal ? 😂😂😂
👎 with the camera work I get eye cancer
I mean, she is great, seems so invested into crystal growing but the dude almost ruined the tutorial for me
