Adding alum to hot tap water until it no longer dissolves, will create a solution that will allow crystals to form as it evaporates. The size the crystals will be for 2 weeks will depend on growing conditions and if any solution is left.

Since basalt is extrusive it cools quickly and forms small crystals.
the magma chamber and then they erupted onto the surface, where the small crystals were formed.
how long they stayed in the volcano; how much time the crystals had to form
Marble plants are in not the real ship
it depends on how big you want it. if u only do the process once then only a couple of hours
It's not that only alum makes big crystals.. There are so many compounds that can make big crystals. Even Sodium Hydroxide makes very good and big crystals. For crystals you need a uniform arrangement of atoms in space. For big crystals all you need is patience. The slower is the crystallization process the bigger crystals are formed. What industries do is called seeding. They make a good concentrated solution of the compound whose crystals are needed and then they put a crystal of the same compound in the solution. The new crystals form and attach to the crystal making quick and big crystals.
sandstone has crystals, big ones not small ones
Yes. If the crystals are big enough. Often you can see crystals with no magnification at all!
Heat a saturated solution of copper sulfate and water (saturated means it is can not disolve any more) when this is heated pour into a beaker and let it cool at air temp. slowly. DO NOT COOL IT OR HEAT IT! it will take about a week.
granite!

by the size of the crystals, big crystals intrusive, small crystals extrusive

The small crystals are formed outside the volcano by the cold air... the cold air cools down the igneous rock and the crystals dont have time to join together so the are small. And the big crystals are formed inside the volcano very slowly and that way they have time to join together then there are big crystals that have been formed.
big crystals form by molten rocks
