- Description
- The nebula-like patterns of a metal silicate chemical garden are observed at 10x magnification under a microscope. The gold-brown, blue, and green coloration can be attributed to iron, copper, and nickel, respectively. Such gardens have been blooming since the days we called ourselves alchemists and we continue to wonder at their beautifully intricate nature to this very day.
