Hello, These where not produced for the sake of growing crystals but non the less the process yielded some lovely pure crystals of the sugar alcohol
Erythritol.
Process here: http://www.sciencemadness.org/talk/viewthread.php?tid=26679
Now these crystals came from the tailings of this process that I had saved to use in my cooking, The mother liquor was poured back into the container
and placed in the fridge (Its composition would be weak stevia extract and Erythritol mix, being the erythritol having a higher concentration)
When I went to add the wash water to the liquor I found these beautiful diamond shaped crystals in it!
Feed stock was Truvia, Erythritol/Stevia extract Sugar substitute.

Crystal grower, how did you manage to grow NaHCO3 crystals?

I didnt put much effort in it at all.
I dissolved soda in hot distilled water and then just lt it cool down.
When the sollution was cold there was no crystals in the container -I was thinking that the sollution wasnt saturated enough. But in fact it was
supersaturated and when I shaked with container a little, crystals started suddenly growing.
Im going to do some more precious procedure to make better crystals in the future.

They are really cool.
Are they made only by cooling the solution?

Yep.
Dissolve the pot nitrate in just enough hot water to dissolve it, then wait for it to cool down.
Simple as that.

Did you check if it was bicarbonate or if it had decomposed to carbonate?

It is still bicarbonate according to ph test.
To be exact the water was only warm, not very hot.

blue vitriol crystal grown in 2weeks.
Just wondering for what price it could be sold, any ideas??
(I would tell the buyer that its manmade of course).

I would say that the price would depend on the buyer, honestly. Perhaps an auction would do(I think of eBay)?

Copper sulfate growing on a piece of copper pipe after its reaction with a warm mix of hydrogen peroxide and sulfuric acid. Original pic and write in
the pretty pictures thread. Love the crystals everyone. Keep up the good work.More (new crystals) to come from me soon.
 
Piperine extracted from black pepper with isopropyl alcohol.

Sodium citrate grows awesome crystals, sort-of hemispherical clusters. Also, Copper(II) Phthalate grows nice deep-blue needle-like crystals, but I
haven't gotten them to grow very large. I got Barium potassium ferrocyanide to grow in granular-size crystals, which were not reported in any of the
books I've found online. They indicate that needle-like rhombohedra form.

I always loved the copper(II) sulfate-on-a-pipe crystals, almost worth saving as 'art' in my opinion.

Thanks for the kind words. Here is my write up describing the extraction and recrystallization of the piperine, if you are interested.

Have anyone experience with growing crystals in gel?
I'd be very thankful for any information.
