@rico1963@spectra.video It seems like you can customize these in many ways. I looked at a few crystals growing and I can see the idea of the patterns being already there, although they are really hard to predict. I look forward to see more of these crystals! This first episode was a really nice basic introduction to the topic but I imagine it gets more complicated later on.

@peertuber@video.4d2.org Thank you so much for your comment! Awesome, that you got the basics of my introduction right away and you're right, it's not that complicated. You just need to set up a proper procedure which can be parameterized in many ways and you always get new results. As I watched the crystals growing I remembered Rupert Sheldrakes morphic fields because it seems like the crystals are growing along a hidden shape that is already there for some reason. I think the upcoming episodes will be even more interesting for you. In one of these episodes I will present anomalies in crystals that look like they should not be there.

I was never interested in crystals before, but this video was a really cool introduction to the topic! The process is much more straightforward and simple than you would think, it's mostly just waiting for the crystals to form (though it likely took a few trial and errors to get the quantities right). The descriptions of crystals and the display of crystals were really beautiful!
