Papaw gave us some coal last August and a recipe for a project to make crystals grow on the coal. Well it only took me 10 months to gather everything else we needed to get this project growing. I forgot to take a picture when we mixed the stuff, but by the next day it had already begun to grow.
I didn't use food coloring like the recipe said, didn't see the point with all the laundry bluing, but next time we will try it. Above is after just one day.
A couple days later we have some serious growth. Jud enjoys checking it each morning.
Wow, that is some crazy crystal growing after about a week, this is what we have. The one area looks like cauliflower to me. It was a fun project and we may try it again soon. If anyone wants the recipe and some coal let me know, I may be able to get more.
