Alum crystals are typically classified as a type of mineral rather than a rock. Specifically, they are a hydrated sulfate mineral, often composed of potassium aluminum sulfate. The most common form is potassium alum, which has the chemical formula KAl(SO₄)₂·12H₂O. While alum can occur in crystalline form, it is not classified as a rock, which is generally composed of one or more minerals.
You can purchase alum crystal seeds online or at hobby stores that sell chemistry supplies. They are commonly used in crystal growing kits or experiments.
Alum crystals are made of aluminum potassium sulfate, and are usually made by slowly dehydrating an aqueous solution of aluminum potassium sulfate. So, when you put water back onto a dried crystal, you will begin to dissolve it again.
To turn alum crystals back into hydrated potassium aluminium sulfate, you can dissolve the crystals in water and then let the solution evaporate slowly. The crystals will reform as the water evaporates.
Chemicals that promote crystal growth typically include a solvent for dissolving the crystal substance, a source of the crystal material itself, and sometimes a seed crystal to initiate growth. Common examples include salt, sugar, and alum in water solutions. However, the exact composition and conditions for growing large crystals can vary based on the specific crystal substance being grown.
Potash alum is typically white or colorless in its pure form. However, it can also appear in shades of off-white or pale pink due to impurities or crystal structure variations.
an alum crystal is a crystal this is just a diffrent type of slt it is used to keep pickles crisp

any type of rock is a crystal it might not be scientific though....
The area of Alum Rock Park is 2,900,000.0 square meters.
A clear type of quartz is known as rock crystal. It is a colorless variety of quartz that is transparent and often used in jewelry and crystal healing practices.
Quartz
Rock crystal.
The appearance and type of mineral crystal appearing in a rock is dependent on the type of rock and the method by which it is created.
Rock crystal
No. A crystal is the solid form of a mineral. Mineral crystals are present in nearly every rock, regardless of type.
