Nearly perfect single crystal of sugar

It doesn't get much better than this. Beautiful crystal faces and decent clarity for a crystal of this size.

This crystal was grown in a sealed glass jar of supersaturated sugar syrup over a period of ~6 months.

Alum catching the light nicely

Forgotten batch of alum in an old beaker. The video doesn't quite do it justice it looks beautiful in the sunlight
