Iodine crystals. It's almost the easiest crystal to get, and we just need to condense the iodine vapor to get shiny flaky iodine crystals. If you want granular iodine crystals then you need to slow down the crystallization rate2yr ⋅ HuaDong-MingLing ⋅ r/crystalgrowing

These are gypsum (calcium sulfate) crystals that I grew overnight. Gypsum cannot dissolve in water, but dissolves slightly in salt solution. With some work, we might find a way to grow larger crystals that don't dissolve when they get wet!1yr ⋅ crystalchase21 ⋅ r/crystalgrowing

My bilayer complex crystal. The inner layer is NaMg[(Al,Cr)(C2O4)3].8-9H2O. The outer colorless layer has the formula NaMg[Al(C2O4)3].9H2O. The time to raise the outer layer is 2 weeks. But it's not very transparent. Size is about 3cm.2yr ⋅ crystalboiz ⋅ r/crystalgrowing

What do you think about this KH2PO4 crystal cluster ? . So fragile but so cute. To grow like this, I added very few AlCl3 (about 1 gram)/ 200 ml saturated KDP solution. I also use basalt rock like a main base to grow like my old post before. Hope you guys like. Size of main cluster: 4 cm.2yr ⋅ Serpierite ⋅ r/crystalgrowing
Here's something you don't see every day - tiny crystals of potassium periodate. They're very slow to grow due to their extremely low solubility (~0.5g/100mL). What's neat is that KIO4 is just slightly denser than diamonds (3.62 vs. 3.51) so handling these feels awesome.3yr ⋅ XiLOD ⋅ r/crystalgrowing
