This is the second part of what is a crystal generator in the way to growing alum crystals, it is the only way to get perfect crystals. The other way is to use a seed alum crystal, then the seed will still be visible inside the crystal after growing it. With a crystal generator the crystal grow from a hole inside a glass, and the crystal generator can be use again and again.

  • how do you get potassium alum? what is it?

  • You can find potassium alum at the drugstore, it is only in small quantity of 250 gr or 500 gr and there is impurity in it, you'll have to dissolve it all and get only the crystallized part of it, then it will be 100 % pur.

    To get big quantity it's better to get it from a chemical dealer and there will be no impurity in it, you can buy the USP potassium alum or not USP potassium alum, the industrial quality is less expensive than the USP quality for personal used and both are 100 % pur

  • do they ever loose their luster?

  • Potassium alum can be dissolved in water and there is water in the air so any alum crystal will be attack by the humidity in the air, even touching them with finger can remove some molecules of the crystal, so to not loose their luster i have to wrap them with plastic pellicule, and then i can attach them with a rope to fix them at the ceiling or put them in a transparent plastic container with food over them and get some elixir, at the beginning i use to varnish them

  • The sound or music (if you want to call it that) sucks...

  • Thak you, i play the music on my yamaha portasound pss-380, my first videos had no sound, and since my microphone does not work i manage to use old music i have done, and i create music since then, i really enjoy to share my music in my videos, sorry for my comments not going under the specific viewer comments
