Recipes for crystal growing
I would like to grow crystals for a science presentation.
Right now, all I have is the salt on the string recipe.
I would like others which use any safe, easy to find ingredients
to compare to the salt crystals, in areas of temperature and how it
affects growth, and if different ingredients grow faster or better.


I have looked everywhere and would like any help you could give me.
My parents have looked everywhere in the teacher's bookstore. Hope
you can help.

Also, will the salt recipe work using any kind of object
instead of the string?  That would be neat to show if it makes
a difference in how the crystals grow.

Thanks,

David
