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.

Why does alum make big crystals?

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.

How do igneous rocks produce big or small crystals?

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.
