So how about covering a campaign glass with plastic wrap + a rubber band then poking a single hole with a pin in the top?
Or would it be better without a hole?
SWIM IS EXCITED! champagne or wine glass i dont know the difference between them sorry, but both will do the trick. You need a small hole, or just cover the top with a t-shirt or any cloth. If you notice its evaporating so fast, next time use 2 layers of same cloth  . My evaporations take mostly 4-6 days.. but i dont yield one piece of xtalz coz its a wide evap dish so theres one xtal here one xtal there.

Oh yes, SWIM's definitely going to get into crystal growing. He's thinking of dedicating a gram to large crystals, and another to attempting to grow single-serving crystals by basifying measured amounts of purified fumarates in test-tubes, pulling with bestine, and evapping in small containers.

Im reading a very interesting book at the moment, its called the cosmic serpent - dna and the origins of knowledge, by jeremy narby. And in it he says that in the amazon, people don't talk about doing things, they just do them.  but without that, we wouldn't have much of a nexus now would we... p.s It is all about how western science cannot and does not understand ayahuasca, and the hallucinatory origins of knowledge. It may interest you lot here at the nexus shoe

It may interest you lot here at the nexus Interesting book I enjoyed it. Most here would also I am sure. The thing that caught my attention was the extreme number of footnotes and quotes from other books. It almost appeared Narby wrote less than 50percent page 163 to 246 are notes and credits for references from other books. My book case is right in front of me so I had it handy  I am not putting the book down I agree with Shoe most here will enjoy reading it. Another good one is "Life Its self" by Francis Crick he expounds upon his discovery(watson and crick) of DNA and his opinion that the earth was indeed seeded for life from a external source in a scientific speculative manner. I know many here will love that theory PEACE MV

Awesome thread, I think there is nothing wrong with a little bit of healthy competition. It will only encourage everyone to increase their crystal making skills which definitely isn't a bad thing. I look forward to seeing some amazing works of crystal art and to growing my very own crystals.  Much Peace and Happiness

What SWIM has determined in his experience from growing crystals is that the key is to use very hot and VERY LITTLE solvent(just enough to dissolve the spice), and then to let it cool VERY slowly over the course of a few days. A narrow container is also nice if SWIY is trying to grow a single crystal; but the surface area exposed to the container is what really seems to make all the difference. Very good thread, why not just submit photos here? Good morning.... good afternoon.... goodnight,
