Hello everyone, today we’ll be growing beautiful single crystals. Crystals can be grown from almost any salt, however, for a better result I suggest using the copper sulfate one. Of course, you may also use an ordinary table salt for growing the crystals. The very first thing you should do before you’ll start growing a crystal is to make a growing seed. Seed is a small crystal that is immersed in the solution, and that will grow there. It should be about the size of a pea. At first, lets take a glass and pour there a third or a half of the amount of a salt. Next, pour some hot water into the cup and stir it all. If you’ve added less, then you’ll need to keep adding salt until it’s no longer dissolvable. And after the salt is no longer dissolving and the solution become saturated it must now be filtered to get rid of various impurities. After filtration, add to the bottom of the glass a little copper sulfate and leave this glass for a few days to let the crystals form. After a day or so you should find at the bottom of the glass that there’s a lot of beautiful crystals has been formed, about the size of a pea. Now we merge the solution into another cup, to pick open interlocked crystal mass. Take any knife or any other sharp tool and drill the crystal mass. Once we’ve scratched it all, pour everything into a bowl. Choose the smoothest and large crystal. Also, I advise you not to take the copper sulfate with your bare hands, it is better to do it with gloves on. Once we’ve chosen the largest crystal, it must be now tied to a thread. To do this, I came up with an interesting system in which you can conveniently change the height of the crystal. Also with this system the cup is protected from dust. We hung the crystal to a cup, and now all we do is wait. Growing crystals requires a lot of time and patience. When I was doing it before I was also growing a crystal out of mixture of potassium chloride and sodium chloride in parallel with making the crystal of copper sulfate. If you want to get a very smooth and a beautiful single crystal, you’ll need to filter the solution every two weeks to maintain its cleanliness. If the solution is dirty, a crooked crystal will grow and you’ll get polycrystal instead of that single crystal we want. Polycrystal is when a lot of crystals fused together.
In this video, I will teach you how to grow crystals of salt at home. Growing crystals is very interesting and exciting hobby. Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thoisoi2

I want to make this into a necklace for my mom on Mother's Day like if you think this is a good idea
is this a rhombo hedral structure
does it have to be a powder
nice
Exile Vilify!!
Awesome video! I can't wait to experiment with this new information! Thanks!
wth! that crystal naturally crystallizes into a cube?? i gotta make one, thats dope
at first i heard he say crystal meth
then 2nd time i heard crystal meth
again then i just turn on the subs
are these crystals strong enough to shape and place into a ring? or will they crumble apart if you chip at them? also how do you get different colors?
can we do opals?
aww this crystal reminds me of the titanic crystal, ps u should try and do that
friggin exile vilify
you need nail Polish
whoa your english accent is even worse than crazyrussianhacker's i didnt know that was possible
Does this crystals Affected by so4, i mean if i used it in a wrapping wire jewellry then plated it silver will it affect on it ??
WHAT the freak is my luck I GOT THe COPPER SULFATE FROM A LOCAL PHARMACY
ты плохо говоришь по англиски
you sound like someone who speaks english speaking in a very made up accent. Zu Zound like a Zuzaphone!!
i dont understand shit.. wtf is this… O.o
How do you remove the string that tied the crystal seed?
if it wasn't removed wouldn't it be stuck inside
keep up the good work your videos are always interesting and informative
This is like crystals porn…
Please the music name someone 🙂 I know where to find it just I dont know the name
Teach us how to make crystal meth
Hey! I want to make something using this, but I have a question. Is there a way to make the Cu(SO)4 crystal octahedral? Like with sandpaper or something?
Not watching this video because of his dumbass voice.
great video. thanks. what's the end credit music
dayum.. intro… u play portal?
May i know where i can buy the copper sulfate?
how the hell he remove remaining part of that black thread from crystal ?
I remember making the small ones in 8th grade science
