In this post I described how I was trying to make a crystal, and this came out when i late-checked one flask and this came out, what is that??
(post : https://www.reddit.com/r/crystalgrowing/s/1OPZw2JYJU )
On the upper side of walls of the flask wher I'm evaporating CuSO4·5H2O, there's some residue.The flask sat forever (multiple weeks) with a thick cloth on top, so water kept condensing and evaporating up there, and now it seems like theres more CuSO4 than water in that spot. Is this becoming monohydrate or higher hydrate? (I have bad camera, it looks like white-gray-ish).
For fun I tried growing crystal that may or may not been grown, but certainly hasn't been "documented"
(for the only sake of being the first to grow it, cuz there's prolly a decent 99% chance that I am)
I picked Mohr salt as a base , and alums for a structure and density increase, here's more info
(I gave a crystal a name, I know you can only name minerals, it's like, easier (and cooler!) :
Mohramite synthetic crystal composition: ammonium iron(II) sulfate hexahydrate (NH4)2Fe(SO4)26H2O with isomorphous impurities of potassium chromium(III) sulfate dodecahydrate KCr(SO4)212H2O and potassium aluminium sulfate dodecahydrate KAl(SO4)2*12H2O. Initial growth solution mass ratio: 90 percent Mohr's salt, 8 percent chromium alum, 2 percent aluminium alum.
And so I have a question, can you squash it all into one, or at least consistent crystal? It crows as a greenish-veridian crystal with purple-white big dots inside, it cool as hell (will post images) but I'm just interested like, there's surely at least one non-5-ton-of-steel-machinery way to make it all blend, right?
