My very first crystals
Hi! This is my very first crystals I grew! They are composed of NaCl (and a little bit of NaI as I used table salt). We can clearly observe a cubic crystal system, and monocrystals became a crystallite! Every side of "monocrystals" are around 0,05 inch.
I used 40mL of water in an empty glass spice container, I heated it with my micro-wave, added the salt inside (I don't remember the mass), dissolved the salt and let it cool down. Then I added few salt to start the growing (is it possible to start it without?), I let the container, opened, outside my apartment. So there were impurities. After 1 week, I didn't see any crystals so I added few salt. I did the same shit 1 week after. And after 1 week more few very little crystals were on the bottom of the container. I let it 2 weeks more and I took it off.
As I have few chemistry knowledge, I knew it was possible and I learned about this sub after my experiment so I read more info and now I know some mistakes I did.
What can I do with this one?
