The Grandson Moonbase Junior is a budding geologist.
Along with his Dad he melted a block of the heavy element Bismuth to grow crystals as it cooled.
Junior asked me to blog his best crystal, this quite beautiful Ziggurat-like staircase of metal
Its iridescence is really gorgeous.
We both agreed it looks like the gates of Gozer at the top of the building in Ghostbusters!
What do you think readers?
That's great!
ReplyDeleteCheers Kev. He loves minerals and elements. He's going to the Stephen Hawking experience this week!

DeleteI used to make crystal gardens as a kid, with various sulphates, but this is amazing!
