How crystals form

WALT: In-room 4 we had to write an explanation about something in science.

How crystals form

Have you ever wondered how crystals form? Or where those crystals in your jewelry come from? How long do they take to grow? Well, today I’m answering all your questions about “How crystals form”.

Its all starts with crystallization. Crystals form in nature, when some liquids cool and
start to harden. Molecules in the liquid gather together and try to make it stable and
solid. In nature, crystals can form when liquid rock, called magma cools. The word crystals come from the greek krystallos, which means ice.

How long does it for crystals to form? All crystals form the same way, but some different times. Just like normal atoms come together in a cluster. In the process it can take a
few days or thousands of years. Natural crystals come from the earth all form the
same way.

Some mood rings have either synthetic or natural liquid crystals, to change the
 color according to the temperature. The ring is normally with a gemstone.
Either quartz or glass. Which is a clear capsule filled with thermochromic liquid
 crystal. A heat changing liquid. Then has a thin sheet of liquid crystal.

The atoms all cluster together to grow crystals. Some rings called mood rings have synthetic or natural liquid crystals.  to change the color according to the temperature.
