Aesthetic crystal structures? Please post here!
I think I read about bismuth crystals in another thread on here and I was surprised at how pretty they are. PICTURE HERE (don't know how to attach pictures  )
I wonder if there are any elements or compounds forming similarly aesthetic crystals? And please post pictures!

If you want to see aesthetic pictures of the elements, go to this site:

Click on the element! Ooooo, Aaaaaah. Genuine Fluorine too! Many crystalline metals.
Enjoy.

Thanks!!  Some really nice crystals there.. Bismuth's still my favorite though
I might have a go trying to grow a bismuth crystal myself pretty soon. Anyone have any experience/tips to share?
Thanks again

Nice! I'll have to do some experimenting with these I think..... I've now got some bismuth powder on the way and also some CuSO4 (have to start
somewhere!). That Nickel complex looks really nice too
