Hi ya Syl, hopin' you might answer this one, or anyone else that has any experience with or has experimented with this.
Can you make a Rochelle Salt crystal? Sure you can, they are one of the most common crystals for the hobbyists that grow crystals. Iâve grown them a couple of times in the past, but there are problems with using them. They are very fragile, not hard like a ceramic or silicon crystal. Iâve never found a way of cutting them; they just crumble with every effort that I have tried. Would love to learn how they were cut in the factories like at C.T. S. Knights when they were in business here in Sandwich, IL.
And why grow Rochelle salt crystals, well the experienced old timers know that they put out the highest voltage of any of the crystals but for the new comers like me they will output 3v.
So, Iâd like to here any stories about your try at it.
