For my science fair, I grew crystals.  My dad teaches at the high school I went to, and the physics teacher there told him about it.  Here's a neat site that explains how to do it.  I found it fascinating!\n\nhttp://www.sdnhm.org/kids/minerals/grow-crystal.html

It's not the best solution, but a piece of iron pyrite or germanium will make a diode.  Its the same materials that you can use as the crystal in a crystal radio.  There's no telling exactly where you'll have to connect the wires to make it work properly, so you'll have to do some experimenting with it.  I've also heard of rust making a good diode for a crystal radio.

Piezoelectric "transformers" convert electrical energy to mechanical energy, and vice versa, to produce high-voltage ac and dc outputs. Despite their small size, these transformers produce voltages as high as 7000V dc from a 5.5 to 7V input.   -   This is from the source listed....there is lots more info there.\n\nor try\n\nhttp://www.morganelectroceramics.com/pdfs/tp244.pdf

I have a created alexandrite and I love it. I need to get the prong on my ring fixed but it's a beautiful stone. Need some details how can I see a picture and how much do you want for it and so on and so forth... I most likely won't buy it but for others interested those are needing info's

Check ebay, just be careful. I got a chipped Tanzanite once. On the other hand, I have bought some really nice stones there, too.

In terms of clear crystals and clear solutions, they do not absorb light in the visible range.\n\nIn terms of flame test, they all contain sodium ions, which give off a yellowish light when heated.

Jeanne's Rock & Jewelry in the Bellaire Triangle (the Bissonnet side) is one of my favorites. They're very knowledgable and friendly. 713-664-2988\n\nCollector's Choice is another one I've heard of but have never visited, as well as The Crystal Store off of Ashcroft.\n\nIf you're in ever in Kemah, there are at least two good ones there you might want to try.\n\nYou might also contact the Houston Gem & Mineral Society and see if they have sponsors or members who can help.
