That looks really nice. I have the ZnS:Cu variation, but I did not know of the other beautifully colored phosphorescences. Maybe I should try some of
these as well.

Thanks to my stupidity nature created this.
I left glass with water outside for a moment (it was minus 12 degrees C) and a dozen hours later got back. Just forgot. However the glass didn't
break.

I hope it is allowed to post a video in this thread. See attached showing gallium attacking iodine. Really surprised me.

Very nice observation! Probably the combined volume of gallium + the volume of consumed solution of iodine has a slightly larger volume than the
produced solution of gallium iodide, leading to slight underpressure at the place where the gallium 'eats' the iodine, leading to the attack-like
behavior.

Tin iodide crystals continue to grow. I’m not sure there is much I2 or HI left but I’ll leave it a few more days. Then to figure out how to wash
them to remove residual acid. Any ideas?
Edit: The 'mounds' in the photo was the shape the crystals made as they grew from the tin granules - all the tin seems consumed now (the mounds are
hollow) and there is no acid smell at all. Tomorrow I'll dry it on the steam bath and see what happens.

So I left a saturated solution of copper sulfate in a beaker for a few days with a watch glass over the top, and came back to this at the bottom of
the beaker. Nice looking mistake I guess
Nuclear physics is neat. It's a shame it's so regulated...
Now that I think about it, that's probably a good thing. Still annoying though.

Looks great! The right side looks as if the crystal is hexagonal. That's a bit odd, as its crystal structure is monoclinic (I assume you have the
tetrahydrate).
Is it stable in air, or do the surfaces dull over time?

Well, what happened when you dried them?
Also, I guess that when you recrystallise them from water, they may yield larger crystals.

azeotropin HNO3[/
Who woulda thought I'd stumble in to a practically bottomless HNO3 bottle? Five gallons sulfuric (92%) and ten pounds nitrate......
been drinking coffee and running 100gm batches all night!

I dried out some molecular sieves and then poured them in a flask. These dusty trails were left on the side of my evaporating dish.
