The dark
The dark crystals are likely to be a compound that sublimes upon heating, meaning it changes from a solid directly into a gas without passing through a liquid state. The purple vapor could be due to light scattering or absorption by the gas molecules, leading to the color change.
Some common color shades and their names include: light blue (baby blue), dark blue (navy), light green (mint), dark green (forest), light pink (blush), dark pink (magenta), light purple (lavender), dark purple (plum), light yellow (lemon), dark yellow (mustard), light gray (silver), dark gray (charcoal), light brown (beige), and dark brown (mahogany).
Amethyst crystals are known to turn into purple vapour when they are heated. This phenomena is due to the presence of iron impurities in the crystal structure of amethyst that react to heat by creating the purple coloring.
Bromine water will go clear in the dark, while hexane will not change color in either light or dark conditions.
Glow in the dark stickers contain phosphorescent pigments that absorb and store light energy when exposed to light. When in a dark environment, these pigments slowly release the stored energy as visible light, creating the glowing effect.
Sugar crystals grow best in dark areas. Some people say that putting the solution in the refrigerator is good because it is dark and cold, but actually you will want to put the crystal solution in a dark corner on your countertop, where it can get somewhat indirect rays of sunlight.
It will grow better in the light
they actually do like light
all plants grow better in light :)
light colors
both are ok, I think light skin looks better.
Almost all plants grow better in light than dark so an apple tree best grows in light.
Dark colors absorb heat from light better.
Dark purple crystals could indicate the presence of elements such as manganese, iodine, or potassium in their compounds. The color of crystals is often determined by the electronic structure of the element and the way it absorbs and reflects light. Additional tests or analysis would be needed to determine the exact element present in the crystals.
they like the dark that's why they go in the dirt
It depends on the viewing angle: by reflected light the crystals appear dark green, but by transmitted light they appear purple. they also change colour depending on whether they are dry crystals (yellow) or have water attached (green).
Depends upon what type of mineral is crystallizing. For some types of minerals (aragonite in particular), their growth is mediated by photosynthetic algae. Obviously, they would grow faster when exposed to light. Otherwise, the algae die and the crystals are left to grow inorganically, which may mean not at all.
