How do you tell if necklace is crystal?

I can't tell if you mean "crystal" as in "made of a crystalline material" or "crystal" as in "made of lead crystal, which is not technically a crystal at all". Take it to a jeweler. There's not any simple foolproof way a layman could tell.


How much gold in 18K?

18K gold is 75% pure gold, so to calculate how much gold is in an 18K piece, you would take the weight of the piece and multiply it by 0.75. This will give you the weight of the pure gold content in the 18K piece.


How much pressure does it take to crush gold?

Gold is a malleable metal, so it can be easily crushed by applying pressure. The exact amount of pressure required to crush gold depends on the form of the gold (bar, nugget, powder) and the size and shape of the object exerting the pressure. However, gold is typically considered a soft metal, so it does not require an extreme amount of pressure to crush it.


What is the difference between a snowflake and a snow crystal?

Snowflake is a general term for a snow crystal or aggregation of snow crystals, while a snow crystal refers to an individual ice crystal that forms in a specific hexagonal pattern. Snow crystals are unique in shape and form due to their intricate growth patterns, while snowflakes can be a collection of many individual snow crystals stuck together.


How to make a crystal?

Take normal sugar and add it to boiling water. Add as much as the water will hold. Put a string or thin stick in the mixture and let it cool and set for many days. The resulting crystals are an example of how nature makes crystals over much longer timescales. If you want a bigger crystal, repeat the experiment while letting the string or stick from the previous experiment bathe in the mixture.
