Title: Copper Xylene Mixture
Post by: Porcelina on February 13, 2017, 05:01:01 PM

Hi! First time posting here, hope I'm in the right spot.
I have been learning to grow crystals and came across a few photos of someone who had used a "copper xylene mixture" to grow metal on previously formed crystals and mentioned suspension. Wondering if anyone here could suggest how he did it? Thank you so much!

Which copper compound is soluble in Xylene.  Normally copper ions mostly soluble in water.
