Crystals grown on a match tip one hour after contact of the match with the surface of a solution saturated with Epsomite.

At this point the crystals continue to grow. After a month or two, the result could be spectacular.

Impressive. Good work!

I had to look that up of course. Epsomite seems to be cheap and available in every normal drugstore. How did you create the solution? Or to be more precise: How much salt with how much water did you approx. mix?
