Curved Crystals - Part 2

Post by Robert Berdan »

Last week I posted some polarizing images of curved (flower-like) crystals made using various amino acids, menthol etc. I experimented with a variety of solvents and techniques and would like to share my techniques with others interested. I have posted an article on my web site with an embedded video:

and just the video alone showing growing crystals on YouTube

My wife supplied created the sound track. Amino acids now produce my favourite crystals.
If you have any questions about my methods let me know and I will do my best to answer them.

Couple of more images shown below.
