That's a wrap on our Crystal Club at the Colchester Middle School. We harvested our crystals yesterday for #2024USCGC. The crystals came out great and the students grew our biggest yet, 60g! Many thanks to Jessica Frank for organizing the after school club with @KarenGlassLab.

Crystal growing training from faculty & students gave these young chemists from Leamington District SS the boost they needed to win the 2023 National Crystal Growing Competition’s Best Quality award. Congrats! 👏 @nick_vukotic @ChemUWindsor @gecdsbpro bit.ly/49hei6v

@USCrystalComp one of the many benefits of this competition is the wonder of being introduced to a magnetic stirrer. Next day, they have a crystal seed!

Getting ready to send my two (!) rocks to my @SS_RockExchange recipient. Bonus rock on the left is an extra from the @USCrystalComp. The average age of these rocks is 192 million years. (right one is 370-400 million (Devonian), and left one is three years old.)
