Quasi-2D Adventures

A clear Erlenmeyer flask containing a "chemical garden" produced by the reaction of sodium silicate with nickel, cobalt, and manganese. A dense, bright white mineral precipitate with an intricate, feathery, and fibrous texture is suspended in the center of the liquid, branching outward in delicate, coral-like formations.
