<p>The present invention pertains to the field of crystallography and may be used for growing monocrystals as well as crystal junctions in domestic conditions and for decorative purposes. The purpose of this invention is to provide a technique for creating monocrystals or crystals junctions having decorative shapes. To this end, this invention comprises preparing an aqueous solution of a base substance, such as vitriol blue CuSO4*5H2O or a blood-red salt K3[Fe(CN¿6?)], until a saturated solution is obtained, said solution being then heated at a temperature of up to 45°. An unsaturated solution is then obtained and a crystal seed previously grown on a frame with a weight and a loop is added thereto at a temperature of (Troom + 8°). It is thus possible to grow large-size crystals having predetermined dimensions and decorative shapes. Apart from those mentioned above, the base solutions may consist in aqueous solutions of mineral salts such as nickel vitriol NiSO4*7H2O, magnesium sulphate MgSO4*7H2O, potassium dichromate K2Cr2O7, a yellow blood-red salt K4[Fe(CN)6]*3H2O, manganese dichloride MnCl2*4H2O, copper dichloride CuCl2*2H2O, etc.</p> |
