Continue the 12 hour cycle replenishing the solution with alum depending on how big you want the crystals to grow. -*Threading tulle with conductive yarn* +**Threading tulle with conductive yarn** We laced the tulle with some conductive yarn to see if this makes it easier to solder the crystal/sensor to a circuit. -ELECTRIC PROPERTIES OF CRYSTALS +**Capacitive touch test** + +I tested the black alum diamonds by connecting them to a Bare Conductive Touch board, a dev board with capacitive touch sensing built-in. So I could see immediately if touching these crystals could trigger a response in a circuit. The big ones were perfect! The small mesh is triggered only when you touch the ones that sit on the conductive thread.
