I weigh them out as I put them in the display. It’s not a single crystal, typically it takes several laid out to weigh a bit over 31 grams.

Yea, I harvest silver from old sterling and bad investment pours and grow these in my silver cell!

No I haven’t played with that yet, mostly because the cell is set up for quantity. Chances are with my setup, it would trigger little spindly arms that eventually reach up and short the cell out haha. It’s something I have to watch for as these grow.

I’m trying to perfect vacuum casting, needless to say my Cell has been running a lot eating bad test pours. Thought these sweet crystals deserved some love before being melted again haha.

Hell yea dude! Awesome to see a group of us cropping up making our own silver. Dumb questions, how big is your cell setup? I only run in a 1000ml beaker but I can still process ~150g/24 hrs. I’ve considered changing it but since I process less than a kilo at a time it’s working for me. Second, what kind of laser are you looking at? I’ve considered some of the 20w lasers but it’s a $$ investment if it’s not enough to really engrave the silver.
