In my crystallization project I was able to make crystals. They came out better than I expected I thought they would be smaller on the bottom of the Becker. They came out great for my first attempt. The crystals came out to look like large pieces of salt stuck together, it resembles foggy glass.
I got my desired results I know now how to make crystals now and if I did this again I think I could make the bigger. What I saw happen was the Borax dissolved into the water from the heat and when it cooled the borax started to become a solid again. As it became a solid it took a different shape it became the crystals.
