About
The RACI crystal growing competition is for school aged youth to try their hand at growing crystals from Alum (potassium aluminium sulfate, K2(SO4)·Al2(SO4)3·24H2O).Attempts to grow crystals are done during term 2.
The choice to buy your own alum or to have it supplied to you is an option. If you request it to be supplied, we please ask that you pick it up from CSIRO, Black Mountain from 1st April - end of term 1. Contact person: Trevor Rapson, t.rapson@csiro.au
