manzana @manzana-crystal.bsky.social · 28/06/2026Tartaric Acid Crystals I intended to make these right after making the sodium ammonium tartrate crystals, but they kept turning into polycrystals. It actually took quite a bit of effort to grow a single crystal. 111

manzana @manzana-crystal.bsky.social · 13/06/2026In Japanese discount stores, you can find crystal-growing kits like this for just 330 yen (about 2 dollars). They keep the cost down by including only the chemicals and the instruction manual. With this single kit, you can do five different experiments! 010
manzana @manzana-crystal.bsky.social · 30/05/2026These are crystals of ammonium sodium tartrate (the left is the L-form, and the right is the D-form). The D- and L-form tartrate ions are mirror images of each other, and this relationship is preserved all the way through to the crystal structure. 130
