This guy explained this wonderfully and went to google more information about rocks and crystals I need for a project at work. Turns out he died 10 years ago. Rest in Peace man, you left the world a lot better with having your passionate well explained teachings left for the future to digest easily
Just one minor detail - most salt defined as ‘table salt’ isn’t harvested from anywhere near the sea. It’s simply mined from sodium chloride quarries. Sea formed salt has been shown to be slightly healthier than table salt, and it is a true flavoursome seasoning, whereas table salt simply adds saltiness.
@onefodderunit Faces on a mineral are formed due to their chemical composition. The way the elements arrange in a crystal lattice determines the outer shape of the crystal :)
yes. but now, the questions are... what defines the arrangement of the elements in the atomic crystal lattice? Number of electrons? Number of neutrons? Temperature? Rate of change of temperature? The shape of electron orbitals? (if so what defines their shape?) Why hydrogen has only 1 electron orbital and not 2? why oxygen atoms in H2O are at the 104.45 degree angle? After all there is no such thing as a "snow flake-shaped crystal lattice of ice" to begin with..
So a crystal is not really describing what something is, it's more about how it was formed and it's current state. So if I said I found a crystal. That would not be enough information, because I am just describing something that was formed into a nice flat form that is pretty.
He sends down from the sky, rain, and valleys flow according to their capacity, and the torrent carries a rising foam. And from that [ore] which they heat in the fire, desiring adornments and utensils, is a foam like it. Thus Allah presents [the example of] truth and falsehood. As for the foam, it vanishes, [being] cast off; but as for that which benefits the people, it remains on the earth. Thus does Allah present examples. quran chapter the thunder verse 17

And this vedio is uploaded when I was 1 year old
great presentation.
thankyou.
Are there any visible differences between a natural crystal (formed in the earth over time naturally) and the ones people do themselves?
Kawaii but Psycho Interesting question. I, however, don't know the answer to that lol
The man made ones tend to be more bright and feel warmer to the touch but sometimes its hard to spot the fakes.
You didn't mention crystal formation by sedimentary processes.
My rock naturally formed geode from my back garden. It was amazing to see
How old are crystals?
Crystal formation does not require "room" for them to grow (i.e., fluid-filled open space). Case in point, well-formed garnet crystals in schist.
Geology of Gems & Minerals / he was referring to crystals such as those with terminated points, for example, which do.
@onefodderunit You are welcomed.
I want crystals in my fish tank, what ones would be the best in water and safe to fish?
most crystals are fine underwater. expect for a few sulfates that are water soluble.
And Malachite,It's Toxic.
Quartz is good,It's as Inert as Glass.
quarts formation
quarts fomation
all the quartz is fine .

How about Malachite?
They're copper carbonate crystals.
+Waterangel Lapis Not soluble,decomposes at high temperatures into Copper (II) Oxide instead of Melting.
got some now . . .
this helped alot thank you for making this.
this was the first video i clicked on by the way.
not the answers I was looking for
Ty u helped me with my science fair project
really helpful for a mandatory science fair project :D thxs

at who is he looking at?
His Students.
or mirror mirror in the wall
Compares formation of various rocks to cooking pastry and breads. See TH-cam video "Rocks Simplified".
I never seen a crystal before or a diamond or gold
You're walking on lots of them
@rotateaxis Quite right, dear sir. Quite right indeed.
Rocks made of rocks crystal formation the sun heat it up I have one
I have granite counters 😺
My friends in India have granite floors
snowflakes are crystals? 😮
Duh
more deep more deep more deep!
Holy shit your TH-cam account is 2 years younger than my age
@@happyalmosthalloween3664 Kind of awesome you're watching educational videos. good job
@@karlwashere123 Thank youu :)
Fluffee Brought me here
Look at the screen!!!
@frankensteinmoneymac oh thanx professor! BURY THE HATCHET!
right?

@rotateaxis You have my hatchet? Where did you bury my hatchet!! Tell me now!!!!
