- What makes crystals grow into their signature shapes? Dig into the atomic patterns and unique properties of crystals.
--
Many crystals have signature shapes- like the cascade of pointed quartz or a pile of galena cubes. Every crystal’s atoms have a defining feature: their organized, repeating pattern. The pattern isn't restricted to minerals- sand, ice, metals and DNA also have crystalline structures. So what causes them to grow into these shapes again and again? Graham Baird dives into the unique properties of crystals.

Hey I have a question for you guys to answer. If light doesn’t have mass, how is it affected by gravity?
TED-Ed how do our eyes adjust to darkness
I know what it all means. Down to every minute detail of it. I know EXACTLY how "time crystals" work... "Moments of time containing reality." I DARE YOU TO FIND ANYONE WHO ACTUALLY WANTS TO KNOW!!! I DARE YOU!!! IT CANNOT BE DONE!!!! You will NEVER find a SINGLE PERSON anywhere on this planet who wants to talk about it!!!!!!! I've been trying for FIVE YEARS NOW!!! I DARE ANYONE TO FIND ANYBODY ON THIS PLANET who wants to know what "Time Crystals" are and EXACTLY HOW THEY FUNCTION!!! I DARE YOU!!! IT CAN'T BE DONE!!!!
TED-Ed fire is made of firebenders
I thought this video was going to talk about the properties of crystals on a spiritual level
Thats what i thought
Me too, but honestly I'm glad I know what they talked about now.
I thought so as well, think the channel "spirit science" walks & talks through the spiritual purposes & qualities of crystals & gems, but do your own research as well :)
Well this channel its about education, so that crystal spiritual nonsense isnt gonna be covered here.
If you are looking for pseudoscience and nonsense, this is not the channel
The explanation in this video is totally crystal clear.
kirby march barcena good one...
But not all crystals are transparent or at least translucent
jk, :v
badumtssss
'Totally' is redundant here
kirby march barcena did you just
Thank you, TedEd! As a Geology student who almost failed his Mineralogy lecture, this video is far more understandable than my 80-year-old, 500-page thick secondhand Mineralogy textbook.
Hilarious way to describe post secondary schooling
its saying that you have no idea what's in the book
One of the rarest voices that teaches you at a slow pace so you can understand what's actually going on. I could keep up with every element that you mentioned. Thanks Graham & Franz! 💙
yesss
This video should be called "How do crystals form" not how do they work
char m perhaps they’re going for the click bate
Gotta get them views
He only mentioned their applications at the very end.
Because they don't do anything that spiritualists say they do
Yeah, I thought it was about meth
The best voice is again back. By the way animations are amazing.

I'm a mineral collector,mainly those that fluoresce under ultraviolet. Crystals are utterly fascinating in that you are essentially looking at their atomic structure blown up to a visible scale. The physics of fluorescence just renders them utterly,endlessly fascinating to me.
Just think how amazing it is that the Lord formed them and that his throne in the spirit realm is made up of the crystals and precious stones such as sapphire, and that he sent his blameless son to earth in the flesh and he died for our sins sothat we could live if we believe in him and turn from sin(Go to heaven instead of weeping and gnashing of teeth if we comply). Baptise and read bible book Matthew to understand everything and salvation and to be blessed
Have you seen the Glow Ring collection at Patrick Adair Designs? I got one last year and it makes me feel like a 50 year old child, LOL!

I'm gonna fail my Calculus III exam tomorrow but hey, I understand crystals.
Edit: why tf are there so many likes, the exam was ok.
Rip
Good luck with your exam. 😊
I barely passed mine two weeks ago. You can do it!
Good luck
If I found calculus II hard I can't imagine calculus III , luckily I picked a career without those.
If this subject Interests you: I recommend looking up Bowens reaction series. It’s pretty much a chart that shows the temp at which minerals melt and cool to form crystals. Longer cooling time=bigger/more visible crystals. It’s also I good way to understand the terms Mafic and Felsic! :)
charcoal has the highest melting point. that's why I always wanna stand on charcoal dirt... no bugs and balanced temperature! :)
Quartz crystals resonate at a specific frequency, depending on size, given an applied voltage. That is why they are used in timing devices or circuits.
Wow, really nice 3D animation on this one. Super educational video.
When I was a young teenager about fourteen years old this was in 1966 (I am 67 now) I saw a piece of quartz crystal in a local gem store. I wanted it so much that my chest ached when I looked at it through the store window. I saved up my allowance until I had enough money to purchase it. I really loved that Crystal and kept it all these years. I collected other stones over the years but that original one was always the centerpiece of my collection. I had a room in the basement where I had an altar where I kept all my stones. Well, my wife at one point decided that she was going to clean out our basement, I and hurt to say this but she threw away all my stones including the original crystal I had purchased as a young boy. (She's not a bad person just an organization and clean freak, sometimes she goes into cleaning frenzies and throws away anything in her path. My mother was like that also and threw away all my 1960 baseball cards while I was serving in the military). Anyway, I would like to know why I still yearn for that particular piece of quartz crystal I actually feel a pain in my heart when I think of it. Any feedback would be much appreciated. Thank you Vito.
To William Quattrocento:
Those who see no Emotional nor Spiritual value may not yet ready to accept “there is more to the universe than (humans) have explored,” thus preventing investigation into any other evidence via scientific methods. We have many more tools to advance our search, our hunger for Truth. Study is required to establish what if any sensory influences occur from humans to known crystalline structures. Why hard science refuses is beyond anyone who has an open, yet questioning mind. I challenge practitioners of science research and spiritual research to collaborate to discover new possibilities.
Loosing a crystal which called to you as you described it only to see it discarded by someone you love-who chose not to honor your belief system/attachment to your life long service to the crystals, arrangement of them on your alter, or simple question how to best handle or help relocate your alter before touching them! Was your wife aware of the story about your crystals?
How about your alter? Are you hiding this aspect of your life? Why did your wife or mother think they had the right to throw out what was not theirs. Avoid blame for all of family and self. Go find crystals which resonate with you (best done in shops that let customers hold each crystal long enough to feel a frequency/connection. Try metaphysical unaltered options.)
You have changed over time you may not ever establish the same feeling you enjoyed with your lost collection. You experienced Grief over your loss anything you care about causes your pain. Sounds like you are gifted sensitive given your attraction to your 1st crystal. Best healing for deep wounds…meditation check out Buddhism, Hinduism, Theosophical Society, etc. Good Luck journey away brings us to ourselves as Baba Ram Dos said, Be Here Now!
If i lived near you, i would send you a small quartz specimen. (I live in Hong Kong) Anyway, I extend my regards to you. Wish you all well 🙂🙂
Perhaps it hasnt been entirely scientifically proven yet, but personally I believe in subtle energy patterns emminating from all things, whether thats quartz or trees or humans. You might even think of the quartz crystal as being a relatively "blank" canvas that could reflect or absorb the energy you are putting out. Just as everyone you have connected with are different because of your connection, and you are different because of your interactions with them, all aspects of the universe contain a kind of ghost-image of the energies they have interacted with - essentially memories. The experiments about having two jars of moldy rice that you either express kindness or meanness towards are good examples of this, showing that the mold can remember the energy sent to it, and grows healthy or unhealthy accordingly.
I say this all because I do believe that the love you gave that crystal is strong, and clearly from your comment, the connection still exists within you. To attract the crystal back into your life, you merely need to open to the possibility that it can find you again. It probably wont happen right away, but if you believe that its not just possible, but inevitable that the crystal finds its way back to you, it invariably will. (I find this to be very helpful whenever I've lost anything. If I am thinking "oh no I lost it, theres no way I’m gunna be able to find it!" The item is completely lost. The second I open up, bang, there it is. Its happened hundreds of times lol.) Even if it doesn't, it'll probably feel better to imagine it will, so whats the harm in it? 😉 all you gotta do is believe that if its true love, itll always find its way back haha! Cheers, and good luck!
Sounds like it represented a time that you long for but is no longer accessible. Pangs of nostalgia are real! I’m sorry the quartz is lost to you. Maybe it will help to think of it landing in a new home because someone else needed it more. 🙏
Crystals such as quartz are piezoelectric, which means they actually do have 'energy' and can produce it when struck.
'How Crystals Are Formed' is a more relevant title 🤦🏻♀️

I swear i learn so much here
If there was a class on this channel
I'd take it
:D
There might not be an actual class on this channel but mineralogy is definitely a thing and can be found at most 4-year universities.
It’s amazing how our earth makes some of the most beautiful diamonds, people cut them and charge ridiculous prices for them. It’s like charging $10.000 for a bag of sand
What? No
If time is money that explains their price.
Diamonds aren’t made of sand, they’re purely carbon. The analogy should be “charging $10000 for a bag of graphite”
I am doing PhD in material science and this has driven my interest even more! Loved this video!
I like orgamy, and I am still perplexed. 😂 lol
Seeing a naturally occurring cubic rock is so surreal
I was studying this in my books and i feel u havepresented this topic in a magically beautifull manner . Thanks ted ed!
Do you mind sharing your favorite books about crystals?
This is the best explanation I have ever received about how the geometric patterns of crystals are formed and crystallography in general
Chemical Engineer here. AMAZING explanation.
Thank you because you translated it into Arabic ,I study these shapes in Secondary school in Egypt ,and l suffered from it all time ,but after you explain I understand 😊🇪🇬♥️
These crystals have 3 kinds of lattice formations:-
1. Simple Cubic Lattice
2. Face Centred Cubic Lattice
3. Body Centred Cubic lattice
Packing efficiency of Face Centred lattice is the highest while of the simple cubic lattice it is lowest.
I like how they called this video "How do crystals work" instead of "How do crystals form" which is what it's actually about. Good job sneaking in some education there, TedEd!
So fascinating, I've always had an obsession with crystals

Hope you've recovered from your crystal addiction ❤️🙏
hope you stopped having meth
The animation is *crystal clear*
At 2:40 you may notice the frame rate is low. At first that bothered me, but then I remembered that rendering 3D models with that many reflections and opacity takes a lot of computing power.
Overall we see very few 3D animation styles on TED-Ed videos, and I think it was a great choice for this video about 3D crystalline structures. Great vid!
You cryin like a little bit
So I just bought a crystal from a metaphysical store, not because I believe its magical, just because I like and appreciate how these amazing minerals are formed.
From geodes to Herkimer diamond crystals, you pulled it all together. Thanks!
Crystals: exist*
Me: time to invest in mining technology
*STONKS*
You’d have to get past the environmentalists first 😂😂😂

Bilalthefighter Trust me, mining would be out of the picture then 😂😂😂
@@Darknimbus3 Yeah that is the point lmao
Once again, Ted-Ed educates me on something I had no idea I was interested in until I clicked on the video.
Me: it’s really late, I should sleep
My body: yeah, I’m beat
My brain: oooh, I like crystals!
Me to
I came here to know how crystals work "magically". Instead, I was click-baited to actually learn something... /s
Yeah that's because their "magic properties" are false
Me too.. Everyone using fir meditation
Leonardo Lauria I don’t know, I feel better when I have a crystal
But if anyone is interested in magic properties they need (or should) know the physical ones.
Perhaps you've never seen a TED-Ed before, so you didn't know what to expect.
I love your animations and your explanation 😍👍
👍
I can't believe my eyes. This is the perfect mineralogy class I've ever seen 😳
I love how the title of this tricked folks who think crystals do more than form and look pretty into watching.
Fascinating! I can’t get enough of these videos. I wish they taught us using these videos when I was a child.
the "these properties may not have any bearing on human emotional needs" seemed like shade. i have a b.s. in geology and didn't think crystals had any healing properties until i had my own experiences after i earned my degree. keep an open mind :) just because a phenomenon can't be explained with science doesn't mean it's not real and happening. sometimes it just means our human brains aren't able to understand and explain it using the science we currently know. yet ;)
could you please elaborate? I'm very interested :)
I love the scientific part and/but everything is energy vibrating at different frequencies too. Me, you, Mother Nature, the cosmos, we all have consciousness. Our bones are made of minerals; crystals are made of minerals. We aren't taught about that connection in school. I, too, have had my own extraordinary experiences that keeps me open minded and searching. Thanks for your comment. Refreshing..Oh-and gold doesn't come from this planet? How fascinating!
Preach!!!!!!!
@suki There are plenty of online sources for how crystals work metaphysically.
so glad someone already said it lol
This is my all time favorite narrator!
Love the little punch in the guts of lithotherapy at the end !
Very instructive, thanks, I made a few videos on the stones but after watching yours, they became even more captivating to me.
Wow! Super easy to understand! Great for chemistry or geology class!
we are the crystal gems
we always save the day
If you think we cant
we always find the way
That's why the people of this world

I searched it while studying my chapter solid state and yep it's in context with that💜
_HOW DO CRYSTAL WORKS?_

That's why you can't repair crystal weapon in DS. It only grow naturally and have very different physics from iron (titanite).
What is DS?

Titanite is also known as Sphene. Titanite is a Calcium Titanium Nesosilicate Mineral CaTiSiO5
I wish I could show someone with this kinda knowledge what I know it would change life for everyone and be a scientific breakthrough
This is amazing channel. I appreciate so many videos uploaded by Ted Ed.
The animation in this video is top notch. Wanting to see more from this animator.
I go to geology school and have minerology as a subject and I can tell that it's pretty hard, but interesting
I saw the title and I really thought this was going to be about how crystals help your energies but this is good too
Animations are awesome and explanation too 😊
I wish i could like this video 1000 more times. Every ted ed video is a masterpiece! Great animation and great explanation as always!
These has actually extremely informative. From the title I assumed it going to talk about healing crystals or something similar.
This channel always make science more fun than on my school days...
The difference between school and Ted-Ed
School: Crystals.. something something..
Ted-Ed:
Clear. Simple. Well explained.
Thank you..👍👍👍
Informative as always.
This video clarified many things. Thanks Ted-Ed.
Very informative video as always, I love it!
I really love the signature raspy narrator voice. I listen to it whenever I sleep because it somehow feels relaxing
Ted-ed: how do crystals grow?
Steven Universe: *am I a joke to you?*
I love that the title of the video trolls all the spiritual folk, and switches it up with scientific knowledge.
Thank you, TED ED!
Did you take the jab I bet ya did
It is the union of spiritual and scientific that is needed.
Wow i just studied crystalline solid structure in my textbook.. Im so glad I came across it.!
I was kind of hoping they’d go into how crystals worked in a scientific application, like in computers and cellphones.
Thanks for educating us...

As the Skeksis ravaged the land, so too they have learn to draw new life from the sun. From their source, their treasure, their faith. The Dark Crystal.
Takes me all the way back to GIA. I love learning the chemical compositions of crystals!
This is the most informative video than I have ever learned in school
1.The animation is wonderful
2.I actually have an amethyst crystal
Nice video!
Also, I think pressure sure also be mentioned in the beginning as temperature alone (as suggested by the illustration) would not be enough.
Title is a bit misleading but a great informative video 💚
I'm studying geology class, Ted-ed help me so good! Love your channel ❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤🤍
If only this video had been made when I was having my minerals test
Omg! Thank you for this video. I love it. More crystal videos please!
