“Growing crystals means they can take a break from ... Not only is “patience” one of the keys to the success of the home experiment, so is a creativity. While some students choose to make ...

The rest of the process happens more or less naturally, as crystals begin to form in the saturated solution. And boy, did they grow — long, prismatic lime-green crystals, with a beautiful ...

If you’re interested in exploring crystal growth further, check out the results of the Royal Society of Chemistry’s 2014 Global Experiment. People all over the world tried growing crystals to ...
