Would you like to learn to create your very own shiny new crystal collection? Do you want to know how you could create stunning crystals in your home? So if you said yes, you’re in the right place! In this article we will guide you through how to grow crystals and store to transform your space into an carpet of magic in few simple steps. And now… we can start our awesome adventure of crystal growing fun together!
Crystals, pretty as they are, are also an interesting group of rocks that form in various ways and varieties and have a wide range of scents, colors and shapes. They can be found out in nature, but did you know they can be grown at home? Yes, you absolutely can! All you need are a few basic supplies and a little patience to form your very own sparkling crystal collection. What you need to get started is the following:
For the solution, boil water in a pot. Hey, watch out for hot water! Next add the borax or Epsom salt to the bubbling water. Mix it all and make sure all of the concentration dissolves. Continue to add more borax or Epsom salt until you notice some of it beginning to settle on the bottom of the pot. This means you have prepared a supersaturated, ideal solution for crystallization.
Now you actually want to build a ground for your crystals to sort of grow on. This part you can use a mason jar of glass container. Grab a pipe cleaner or a little piece of string and twist it into a fun shape you want your crystals to grow around. You can select whatever shape you want — a star, a heart, even a circle!
To begin with, attach a pipe cleaner, or a piece of string, to a pencil or a chopstick. Secure that across the top of your mason jar or glass container. If you are using a pipe cleaner or string, make sure that it is not touching the bottom and sides of the jar. Conditions such as these are crucial for the crystals to form appropriately.
Now comes the exciting part! Gently pour the crystal solution into the mason jar or glass container. Ensure the pipe cleaner or string is fully submerged in the solution. After you’ve done this, put the jar in a secure location where it will not be disturbed. You should probably let it sit for several hours or overnight.
Once your crystals have reached the size you want, it’s time to gently pull out the pipe cleaner or string from the jar. You can also wash it under running water to remove any extra crystal solution attached to it. After rinsing, allow the crystals to dry fully before handling.
