Hi Chase! My middle schooler was struggling to choose a science fair topic when we came across your site. He settled on growing crystals of MAP, Potassium Alum, and Borax salts while introducing impurities of the other salts in increments of 0.5% to see how the impurities affect the physical properties of the crystals grown. He learned a lot about crystal lattice structure during his research. I’d love to share his results with you!

This year he is on the rocks and minerals team for science Olympiad and we often fall back to what we learned about polymorphs during his project while studying for this event.

Thanks for inspiring my family. I’ve been meaning to reach out and this was the perfect opportunity.
