I am growing my own crystals, they are colored, and different shapes. You need sugar, Epsom salt, alum, measuring cup, stove, and a little glass. Different chemicals make different sizes, shapes and colors. It also depends on how long you leave it for. Most 'perfect' crystals use a [b]seed[b] crystal. To make a seed crystal, put one of the chemicals I mentioned above into a measuring cup, measure out about 3.5 ounces, depending on the chemical. Boil water, and when it's boiling, put 1 ounce of chemical in at a time. Stir it about two minutes, and make sure it's off the burner. Optional:::: Add food coloring. Now, once the seed crystal forms, tie it around a very thin string. Then, tie the other end of string to a pencil. Put the same chemical in the water, and bla, bla, use the stove, bla. Put the seed crystal in the new solution mix, and wait for about 48-72 hours, or 2-3 days. Maybe 4, just to be safe. You can repeat this until you have a perfect crystal. Here's a picture of a perfect crystal:

Now, to discuss other types of crystals, and how the crystal grows, and stuff like that.
A crystal is any type of mineral. Quartz is the most common type. Quartz is grown, too. It is grown naturally, though. Each crystal is different than any. Just like a snow flake. The crystals colors may be different, the shape, size, or even where it can grow. Most crystals grow in humid regions, or just put a heating lamp on it. You can even make red crystals, use food coloring. Don't handle the crystals too much, they are very fragile. The crystals grow due to a chemical reaction causing bonds to form between the solid object they are kept in. This method is also used to make slime. But my favorite part of being a crystal grower is the profit       $ $       . You can make a snow-globe, a tree ornament, or even a whole crystal garden, and sell it. In three days,you can make a minimum of $15.00, or more! Did I mention I like money? And do I sound too scientific? Well, I can't help the scientist talk, because that's gonna be my 71st job. I'm going to have a lot of jobs. I made $40.00 on 1, super colorful and huge crystal. Oh, man. It's my bedtime. I'll post more tomorrow.
