How to grow up a house crystal

Of course, it is impossible to grow up a diamond crystal in house conditions. But here independently it is quite possible to receive very beautiful crystal of salt. As it is fragile and is afraid of water, it is necessary to store it in a transparent box.

Instruction

1. Decide on whether the correct crystal is necessary for you or some of its deviations from the correct form are allowed (sometimes the second turns out even more beautiful). In the first case water has to be distilled, and salt - not iodated. In the second case use water from under the crane and any table salt.

2. Boil water about a half of liter. While it boils, carefully not to scald the ferry, begin to pour into it salt. For this purpose it is possible to use, for example, a V-shaped piece of a sheet of metal, holding hands away from a vessel. Continue to pour it until solution does not become oversaturated (on walls of a vessel small kristallik of salt will begin to be formed).

3. Soak a cardboard piece in the oversaturated salt solution. Then dry up it, and it will be covered with small kristallika.

4. Separate one of the largest crystals and suspend on a thread.

5. Pour in the oversaturated solution in a clean vessel so that small kristallik from walls of that vessel in which boiling was carried out did not get to it. Let's it cool down, then enter into solution small kristallik on a thread. It should not concern a bottom.

6. Leave a vessel in such place where it will not be moved. Small kristallik will gradually increase in sizes. When it reaches the size desirable to you, take it, then carefully dry and shift in a transparent box.

7. If desired manufacture the device for crystal illumination light-emitting diodes. What it will be, depends on your imagination. It is possible to highlight as one large crystal, and several less large. In the latter case of them it is possible to make the composition made not only from crystals, but also of other objects. Do not forget to add a background and to close composition glass as from touch the crystals spoil.
