Ah, yes, Potassium ferricyanide, Copper sulfate and Potassium alum, the most commonly found items in households.
I have all of them in my garage
Evet
You can do it with salt if you prefer
my poop is doing good these days
@@luqmanf.r.9134 nahh I have em all
*"Ay mom, where's the potassium ferricyanide?"*
“ Besides the Copper Sulfate and leftover Potassium alum dumbass ”

The sound makes it feel like their doing something illegal 😂😂
They be making that crystal meth. Heisenberg got competition

Lmao, i remember all the fake videos on how to make diamond out of coal
when you tie the string and let it grow in size. Does the string get engulfed within the crystal?
ye it does you can see it when the person cuts off the string he/she only cuts the upper one not the around
It’s fake.
@@lsheats you're fake
After he took out the gems and placed them on a tissue paper, I saw the string come from inside the gem, so the gem was growing on it.
idk

Omg yess! I will now go in my kitchen and make that with my average home ingredients that I definitely have 😭👌
Lmao
In fairness, any scrap copper and vinegar can get you the needed Copper(II) Sulfate. Can even add some 3% Hydrogen Peroxide (standard stuff for cuts and scrapes) to speed up the oxidation and dissolving of copper. This makes Copper Acetate, since vinegar is Acetic Acid. Just make sure the copper scraps are solid copper. Plumbing pipe should be fine, but some wires might be copper plated steel, so it wouldn't yield much. US Pennies work, but they have to be older than... 1982 I think. US Nickels (5¢) also, because they're made from "Cupronickel" alloy which is like 65% copper.
Of course, you'd _then_ need to dry (evaporate) the newly made windex-blue colored solution, which could be done by heating it. It'll form lots of micro crystals, which is the Cu(II) Sulfate.
From there, just follow her tutorial on how to make the solution. The Cu Sulfate is just easier to buy, honestly, but I just wanted to prove that at least THAT ONE is actually able to be made with "average home ingredients" 😁 (if you're in the US, finding a couple pennies old enough should still be quite easy heh)
My question is HOW THE HELL DOES THE STRING NOT BREAK WHEN THE CRYSTAL GROWS
The power of cartoon logic
Hol'up
It's not the crystal itself which is growing, but the liquid around it that solidified itself on the crystal and making the crystal grow.
@@shurturgal so the string is inside the crystal?
@@MichaelTheRobloxPlayer yes
ahah yeah let me take the potassium ferricyanide out of my fridge.
Lmao
Yh i just want a simple tutorial
And what about the quality 😅

Because there's cyanide in that pretty bloody red rock...
i find it soothing
They are secretly making meth just different colors
hahhahaha so !
Thank you so much for the crystals it looks so cool. I will try it when I get the materials!
question and if you leave it for longer the one in the video can increase its size or according to the container and the quantities you put?
Why the hell you chose the plague inc song for that video
Crystal disease. Coming soon
Velet Dinozor its called lightless dawn
@@electricengine8407 it sounded like a plague inc soundtrack for me. Sorry
Like a cross between that and some Metroid prime shit 🤣🤣
How humans actually cure your disease fast in Plague Inc. (And how to prevent it TUTORIAL)
Nice video, I would add:
- Instructions on making more of the saturated solution, since it will evaporate with time, making the crystals grow.
- Note on protecting it the solutions from dust and temperature rise
- Note on painting some sides of the crystal, waiting for it to dry and then painting the others, to avoid finger smudges/marks.
- Note on how to deal with the waste? Potassium Alum is rather nontoxic, Copper (II) sulphate is not that hazardous, but Potassium ferricyanide is quite pollutant.

I’m the 100 👍 like
Thank you Marcelo! Very helpful additions... have you posted some other interesting things on RUclips? Would be happy to see them and more helpful notes, too!
Very useful and very thoughtful comment.
If we use Sodium Chloride for making these crystals would it be as big as these?
😂I love it how they chose the witchcraft music!!👌
Ah, yes, Lightless Dawn, the perfect song for a crystal growing excitement.
Anyone else just watching this video but won't try making one themselves
I kinda want to but probably won't.
Yea don't make it's not safe at all
I will if i can
@@cecilasen its safe just dont drink it
Crystalised salts are never safe

woow that look realy cool, and cause of music it feels like some sort of alchemy, and i finaly found a useage for my empty coffe jars

This vid brought back some great memories, despite sucking at chemistry in high school, I did manage win the crystal growing contest by growing a 4 inch copper sulfate crystal in 2 weeks. I even helped a couple of the "wiz kid" students grow some nickel sulfate crystals who failed after 2 weeks, and did it within 24 hours. :)
How much is these stones there some crystal stones with an object inside either a house or a soldier or a man or anything
but is it a durable cristal, or is ti more like "salt" toy cristals that will rumble with the least pressure?
@@corujabiruta3732 The copper sulfate crystal was very durable. The nickel sulfate got over grown and filled the container, and stopped looking like crystals. Had I stopped the process early, would have had better results, but I did have a result.
Very good experiment

Um, why? Great way to start learning what the stuff around us is made from...
You can buy copper sulfate at garden shop, its a fertilizer
@@f.d.6667 They are toxic and can be absorbed through the skin
you forgot to say:
the blue one is extremely toxic!
Yup, I guess thats why she used the clear nail polish to seal the surface
The blue one is the one I would have most likely licked first
the red one is toxic
The blue one looks quite like copper(II)-sulfate-pentahydrate, so that would be alright. Sealing the surface prevents the crystal from dissolving when getting in contact with water.
These are not edible doofuses.
Dude I’ve heard this music SOMEWHERE like a long time ago,idk where :o
Its on nearly all "Top ten SCARY something something" or "GHOSTS CAUGHT ON CAMERA" so its likely you heard it from those types of videos and if you didn't hear it from those videos its likely that a "Fact channel" like Vsauce used that music
@@TheFagerlund yeah but I feel like I heard it in a video game, I probably heard it from something like that too tho.
@@adorablealien1870 if so its likely a detective puzzle or game maybe even a fantasy game in a dark forest or something can you recall anything about what type of game it was or is it just blank?
Can do this with magnesium sulphate and cold water. You have to pour it to a big container to get a gigantic crystal. It takes lesser time

When I was in high school I make a lot of these stuff. Raw materials are pretty easy to buy from reagent shops, and it's great fun. When making one of these, the salt and water must be pure enough, or the crystal might look weird.
What’s a reagent shop?
