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.

now thats some items everyone has at home
Excited! (Idk if you sarcastic but I actually have the stuff at home)
haha sure me too
Jerden Caday same
Jerden Caday right. lol. Mom! can I make these crystals? Mom: sure honey what do you need? (shows mom) oh sure honey just check in the back!
Jerden Caday lol
Haha let me just grab my Potassium aluminum sulfate dodecahydrate from my fridge
Lemon can get both on eBay for under $20
Lemon what, I understood nothing
Emily Olsen it's the formula for alum with water of crystallisation
Al2SO4•10H2O
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.
Svenni Tayivek pickle crystals?
Not gonna lie, I clicked the video thinking that all I needed was salt to do this
Sameee
Actually, it's a salt😛
I’m pretty sure that might work don’t have proof i used my for my dinner yesterday
Using table salt or other simple solubles you can make irregular, but still pretty chunky lumps of crystal with this method.
I think we all did 😂💯
Why do I find it cute that he said 'beautifulness' instead of 'beauty'... and I just love his accents and experiments... I'm glad I found this channel.
things i dont understand in my life :
- Maths
- im trying so hard to make good contect
Help?
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...
They ain't table salt, but they are salts.
Alum is a common home ingredient actually, that's the substance that crystallizes into an octahedron. Borax forms a neat structure too.
Alum powder is used in baking and be acquired easily at most grocery stores and walmart for sure.. alum powder is a salt..
alum is in your spice section of your grocery store. .. it gets coated because it will degrade in humid air....

if I bought these my mom would assume I'm making crack

Spirited Away 😂😂😂
Same xD
Spirited Away love ur nickname
Wait? you mean this isn't a meth tutorial? Pffffttt... No wonder....
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.
s-spices aisle??!
It could interfere with crystal growth though.
Thank you :)
Fucking thank you. You dumbed down the ingredients list for the rest of us non-chemistry nerds.
they use it for making pickles. Most store bought pickles have this in it and its really bad for you..
Where can I find the cardboard

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.
A little worried on where I am supposed to get the H2O from.... i'll just grab the potassium aluminum sulfate dodecahydrate from the fridge first
McGuinness h20 is water...
@@depression-san7144 he was being sarcastic
@@depression-san7144 there's no such compound as h20.
N337av G#o5h search it up... h2o is water... you’ve never heard of it? There is a show called h2o about mermaids aka water is involved
N337av G#o5h “In the chemical formula for water (H2O), what does the number 2 mean? Science for Youth May 16, 2011. The number 2 indicates that there are two atoms of hydrogen in a molecule of water. There is also one atom of oxygen but the number one is omitted from a chemical formula.”
Sure, let me just get my potassium aluminium sulfate and potassium chromium from the cupboard...
No, but seriously, though. This is pretty damn cool, but where the fuck am I supposed to get those ingredients from? It's not like they just sell it at the drugstore
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
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.
Jason Paulin oh, haha. that was way easier than I thought XD thanks
XDDD totally what im thinking hahaha!!!!!
Delaina Lorac you Can buy them at Amazon etc.
Last time I tried making Crystals I ended up in jail
lol

Your videos are fantastic. Thanks for passing on your knowledge for us to enjoy!
You did a great job! It takes lots of patience to grow a crystal to that size!

Micaela Berezan No. It's another guy. He used to speak Russian in his videos. But now, he speaks English with a Russian Accent.
I hope it work for me
Yup, let me just break out my Aluminum Potassium Sulfate and my Potassium Chromium from underneath the sink. Everybody has some of that just lying around, right?
Honestly I'm more worried about where I can get my hands on some of this H2O stuff.
the aluminium potassium sulfate is very popular and cheap, everty supermarket sell him, maybe is not powder but you can easily make it
the potassium chromium is not necessary
To be fair you can use Aluminum Potassium Sulfate to purify H2O
Fabio Di natale
did you just assume it's gender?
you could say that he is...
*Puts on sunglasses*
Pretty salty about it.
YEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH
Ye my crackhead father has some :D just not any H2O.... :(

Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Beautiful! And your wording is perfectly understandable. Thanks to you I'm going to try this.
but why werent the power puff girls formed ...

You seem obsessed with homosexuality, I wonder why?
ASMR Junkie Because it's evil and spreads AIDS.
I have another theory, that you are in denial. You are showing all the classic signs.
ASMR Junkie So if I said Mexicans are dirty and spread crime you would assume that I was secretly a Mexican?
Just imagine growing a huge and beautiful one and giving it to the girl you like :3
Oh how a girl like me wishes that were possible....with...many different things 0.0
Since it's salt don't get it wet!
Actually I'm growing one of Copper sulfate for her, and this purple one for me. I pretend to put them on necklaces, since those are our favourite colors -w-
Sebastián Solís Awesome! i'd love to see the final product!
I"ll make sure you see it!
when i was a kid my mum bought me a grow your own crystal kit all different colors and shapes it was actually really cool about 6 months later we had to do it in science class but i already knew how to do it so the teacher couldnt work out how i knew nearly all the answers already. your video brings back the memories for me thank you
Thank you, I tried making those crystal and they are amazing!
Is this what Homeworld is doing now?
nah they aren't this advanced yet :P
Yukino Neno This is their cheap way of making new Gems. They were running out of resources, weren't they?
Go fuck yourself
PremiumGamerMC That's a physical impossibility. At least make your insults probable, mate. :)
I mean, gems can shapeshift so it's kind of possible.
Perfect gemstone shape and good clarity, these would look great on a ring if smaller
Actually you can take it out before it grows that much
you can grow it the size you want. it is more a trial an error. but that is the fun of chemistry
I fear they are a tad fragile for that. Consider using Flourite instead, its more stable :)
These are so beautiful crystals. Wow
Thankyou! I am going to study the periodic table now! And start doing experiments!!!

yeah the ingredients you mentioned are always kept on the kitchen cabinet .... .my momma always use them to make tasty snacks
+Abhinav Jhaldiyal especially chromium-salts :D
at least its not Chrome 6 ^^
I made those crystals and put them into a ring for my gf. She thought it is an emerald or something lol
Did u tell her this
she will be more happier ! coz you made it for her :) not bought
Nope, she still thinks its expensive
lol xD
I sure do hope you're generally more honest to her about things.
*”Yo mom, do you where the potassium chromium and the potassium aluminum sulfate is?”*
Great video. Thank you. I used to do this in high school. Brings back good memories.
me: sees title* oh look I can grow a salt crystal
video: you'll need potassium chromium and potassium aluminium sulfate...
you can get it on amazon, ebay, in pharmacies, drug stores snd some grocery stores ;)
Who else thought that he will throw it out of the window ? :'D

This made me laugh so hard :D I really thought that too :D
"and now, we release zhe crystals, in their natural habitat"
"if you vant more crixtals, then you can throw then through the window, and you get... Smaller crystals!
I really appreciate this video for being so simple and helpful, and I love the way you say "Crystal" ! It's so fun haha I love your accent!
Did this, and it is AMAZING

Funny how in this "DIY" he talks about these ingridient as if everybody just happen to lay this around the house, maybe nest to some conviniently placed C4 or uranium. Or in the sock drawer next to some plutonium.
you mean you don’t have plutonium in your kitchen cabinet?
It is near the salt
you're on the internet you fucking idiot, you can buy it here

"no problem we can deliver as you wich"
"Contenant is by rail wagon, 56 tons or by road 30 tons semitrailer."
"How many do you need?
Omg that is going to be a huge cristal!
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.
WOW that's Incredible and Impressive and Beautiful
After watching this video i have started to love you and chemestry
I know the golden rule of sciencing is "don't lick the science" but could I eat this without dying?
I looked up the warnings, ya you could eat it without dying. It probably tastes like hell and would likely make you sick. But that amount would be unlikely to kill you unless you had some kind of complicating factor.
lol
i wanted to lick it too lol
