Decorative DMT

I was thinking the other day how awesome it would be to grow a crystal in the shape of something you like like dolphins, or stewie, or a heart. I want to try this out. Id have to use silicone molds though, unless I could find metal ones. Any ideas? I was thinking that if you slow dripped dmt-laden solvent into the mold then the crystal should grow to the shape of the mold, right? Does anyone know if naptha absorbs silicone? If it does, does any one know of a solvent that doesn't eat silicone? If it doesntt then trials will be under way shortly.

For possible reactions between materials and chemicals have a look at this page! Select the material (silicone) in one Box and the chemical (naphta) in the other. In this case the result is:

Severe Effect, not recommended for ANY use.

Lol. Hmm. What to do what to do.

I'd say glass, borosilicate ideally... Finding some dolphin molds the right size might be a tad problematic though...

My wife uses silicon molds for orgonite crafting, with some success, if you happen to have some and are at a loose end for a hobby

Are you suggesting I take up orgonite crafting? I don't even know what that is. Lol.

I know its possible to make your own molds out of silicone. I wander if there's maybe another material they can be made out of? I don't want a dolphin specifically, that was just an example. I was thinking of maybe using those baking mold or something. I think I've seen some made of plastic of some sort. Maybe I can find some hdpe molds.

Cast Iron should be reasonably safe to use (got a B- Good rating from Steppa's handy little link up there).

I'm not sure you could get enough crystals or a small enough mold for a shape, though.

Oh yea, and Steppa, bro I never knew that site existed. I'm soo glad you shared that with me. Thanks.

would the crystals form according to the mold? It is an interesting idea..

I've always wanted to grow a phatty rock candy sized crystal and keep it in a vial around my neck
