Description

A delightful and educational DIY project to create vibrant color-changing crystal stones using household materials.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/4 cup Baking Soda
  • 1/2 cup Boron Nitride Powder
  • 1 cup Water
  • Food Coloring (various colors)
  • Glass or Plastic Containers
  • Spoon or Stir Stick
  • Dropper or Pipette
  • Protective Gear (gloves and goggles, optional)

Instructions

  1. In a container, combine 1 cup of water and 1/4 cup of baking soda. Stir the mixture thoroughly until the baking soda is fully dissolved.
  2. Gradually add 1/2 cup of boron nitride powder to the solution. Mix well until the powder is evenly distributed in the liquid.
  3. Using a dropper, add a few drops of food coloring into the mixture. Observe how the color disperses and mix gently for a uniform tone.
  4. Leave the solution undisturbed in a warm area for several hours or overnight. Check periodically for crystal formation.
  5. Once crystals have formed, carefully remove them from the liquid and allow them to dry completely before displaying.
