Not certain if it's the one but if it is I hate burst your bubble concerning the "humongous sheets" but they are closer to medium sized tooth picks. even so I still wouldn't kick 'em out of bed. 8)

Here are some huge rocks, by the man Jacked. Just thought beegeez might like to look at these as well.

Title: Biggest Dime I've ever Seen
Post by: ChemoSabe on February 04, 2004, 05:21:00 AM
Damn that's a big dime!!! 8)
That style of granule shape is not something I've yet seen aside from in that picture. Sorta similar to rock salt. Gotta restudy my geology again 'cause I'm sure there's a standard crystal stone or type that this is similar to. I know meth crystals can grow like schyst and mica. You'd earn the status of a true crystallizing God though if you could somehow pull off a bonafide meth Geode.

No, Chemo, that is a SMALL dime. He got that the same place Hematite got those little bitty quarters in the pictures of his crystals grown in a thermos bottle.
Crystal shape has a lot to do with the solvents used and how fast the crystal is grown. You will note different shapes with acetone/water, ISO/acetone, iso/water/acetone, MeOH/acetone, MeOH/water. Also meth crystals grown in a single solvent have different shapes. Take, for one, the meth crystals that appear in really dry acetone. Meth is very slightly soluble in dry acetone, not enough to be a problem, but enough to recrystallize in longer spikes with short spikes on each end. Very pretty.
