How are crystals made? How crystals are made

Crystal products are now a very popular product, crystal products are crystal clear, the artistic sense is very good, of course, many people do not know how crystal products are made, the following is a brief introduction to crystal products and production process instructions.

Smelted crystal refers to the crystal products that are recomposed after melting the natural small materials at high temperatures, and this kind of crystal products are generally used in the production of large-scale shapes, which are difficult for natural crystals to form large shapes. Due to the high temperature smelting, the crystalline body of the natural crystal itself is destroyed, and its essence is no different from that of glass.

Crystal. Crystal products production process description:

1. Cutting: It is the shape and size required to cut out the blank with a large saw blade at high speed.

2. Pressing the embryo: the mold is used to make the size and shape of the finished product, and then the raw material is melted at a high temperature of more than 900, flowing into the mold, and die-casting.

3. Coarse polishing: It is to press out the blank of the mold and directly grind the finished product with a diamond disk.

4. Fine polishing: After rough polishing, polishing powder is used to grind the finished product until it is crystal clear.

5. Punching: Before the finished crystal product is completed, it is processed with a drill bit according to the size and position of the required punching, such as table-making parts, pen holders, bottle holes, etc.

6. Silk screen printing: the crystal surface is attached with different pigments for effect treatment, and the color layer is thicker, and it can only fall off after focusing on it.

7. Color plating: the use of similar electroplating techniques on the surface of the crystal with different colors, the layer is thin, static friction can be scratched, scratches, because the plating is often located at the bottom, so other objects are often attached to the bottom of the plating, such as Zodiac Wenzhen.

8. Engraving: strong three-dimensional sense, high technology, fine workmanship and high cost. It is divided into hand-engraved graphics and machine-engraved text.

9. Sandblasting: weak three-dimensional sense, relatively flat, no concave and convex feeling, and the effect is processed after the machine engraves text and graphics. Low cost and fast production.

10. Laser carving: computer-aided laser equipment is used to form three-dimensional patterns in crystal objects, with good artistic effect, and can arbitrarily express various patterns and graphics to achieve realistic effects.

Material Preparation:

10 grams of potassium aluminum sulfate (alum), a large flat-bottomed glass, a cleaned lollipop stick, warm water, thread, some small stones, preferably with raw edges.

Method: 1 Be sure to wash the stone - it is best to wash it with running water. 2Fill the cup with enough warm water – cover the stone (about 1 3 places in the cup), but don't put the stone in it yet.

3Add the alum to the cup and stir with a lollipop stick until the alum is no longer easily dissolved. There may be some alum particles left at the bottom of the cup at this point, so you can just put the stone into the cup, or the more classic method as shown in the picture below: tie a thread to a small stone, and wrap the other end of the thread around the lollipop stick.

4 If you want to add food coloring, it's at this stage. This way the finished product will have the beautiful color you want.

Evaporation is the key to making these little crystals well, so be sure to keep the cup in a warm place. It will take a few days for the first crystals to appear, and it will take a few weeks to see all the crystals. If you want to get a large crystal, you need to tie the small pieces of crystal that you started to make like a small stone at the beginning, and then repeat the above process.

Far away in the geological generation era of the earth, the earth's surface shell is almost all anhydrous silicic acid chemicals, which is a colorless substance like glue-like viscousness, and the silica content in anhydrous silicic acid reaches supersaturation through high temperature and high pressure in the earth's crust. As the mantle magmatic material rises along the weak points of the earth's crust during intrusive activities, coupled with the gradual decrease in temperature, the SO2 (i.e., quartz) in the magma slowly cools to form crystals in ample growth space.

Crystal is a quartz crystal with high transparency and intact crystal shape. Crystals belong to the crystalline category of the large "family" of quartz. Many countries in the world have crystals, such as:

Brazil, Uruguay, the United States, South Africa, Zambia, Russia, China, Vietnam, Pakistan and many more, among which Brazilian crystal is the most famous. Ancient crystals are "water jade" and "water spirit", which are thought to be "water spirits", or "the essence of ice for thousands of years". The formation of crystals must first have enough production space, generally growing in caves, rock cracks or joint faults; second, it needs to have two to three times the atmospheric pressure and a high temperature of more than 570; third, there should be abundant hydrothermal fluids rich in silica; Fourth, there must be a growth time.

These four conditions are met to generate crystals. The difference between crystal jewelry and similar gemstone jewelry and synthetic crystal jewelry. The common crystal varieties on the market are natural crystals, artificial color change crystals, and synthetic crystals.

1. Put the laundry detergent and water in the glass at a ratio of 1:3 (if there is more laundry detergent, then the color of the crystal soil will be darker, if you have less laundry detergent and more water, the crystal soil will be very sticky, so the ratio of water to laundry detergent must be appropriate).

2. After that, add liquid glue, the proportion of liquid glue is related to the amount of crystal clay you want to make. Add as much liquid glue as you need.

3. Then stir on both sides, do not stir in a circle, if you stir in a circle, the crystal clay will be very hard.

4. After standing for one to two seconds, scoop up the semi-finished crystal mud.

5. After scooping up, spread the crystal clay on the table, then pick up the crystal clay and squeeze out the excess water, and wipe the squeezed out water with toilet paper.

6. Well, the crystal mud is done, and the friends who have a mold can fix the shape with the mold.

1. Finish the prepared crystal, and then combine the two different colors of crystal together, fix and bend it into a small iron ring. Use a rubber rope to string a single finished crystal, and then string a combined two-color crystal. After the crystal is strung together, the rubber rope is knotted and fixed.

At high temperatures and pressures, highly pure silica (quartz) can crystallize into crystals. Therefore, without special instruments, ordinary people cannot make crystals.

2. Crystal is silica, which is the same as the main material composition of sand. Geology students like me see crystals every day, and they get tired of seeing them, and crystals are not mysterious, they are actually a very common thing. (There are a lot of quartz in magmatic rocks, if you like crystals and don't have them, just look at the stones, many of the components in the stones that are almost transparent and reflect light are quartz.)

How do you do crystal (crystal mud):

1. Put sodium alginate into a container, add water about 60 degrees Celsius, stir sodium alginate and water in a ratio of 1:100 and let it stand for 24 hours, and then the sodium alginate can be dissolved into a paste before proceeding to the next step.

2. Prepare another container, add calcium chloride and water, stir the sodium chloride evenly and dissolve it in water, and then add pigment powder according to the color of the crystal mud you need.

3. Prepare a small plastic bucket and place a solution of sodium chloride under the plastic bucket. Drill a row of small holes with a diameter of about eight mm at the bottom of the plastic bucket, pour the paste-like sodium alginate into the barrel, and let the sodium alginate drip into the sodium chloride solution water along the small holes, and the solution should completely cover the sodium alginate.

4. After a few hours of place, sodium alginate will solidify itself into crystal beads, which is beautiful crystal mud.
