Crystal Growing - Experiments at home

I really missed hands on experiments and luckily had a cool fluorite crystal growing kit to scratch that bench work itch! It turned out pretty cool, this shows day 1 time lapse and day 12 result! Music: Candy shoppe by Emeralds.

I used a bit of artistic license in my methods section video below, it was so fun to make! Music: Crystal Suite-Steven Halpbern

Although this is kinda silly, it really reminded me of the joys of really simple scientific experiments as hobbies for pleasure and innate curious inquiry , and science can be about enjoying the observation of the world’s natural phenomenon, even in a tiny mason jar at home.
