Abstract

Provided is a new-concept crystal growing ornament that may change in size due to a recrystallization phenomenon by supplying a growth liquid, thereby reducing repugnance or an artificial impression and arousing curiosity or interest. The crystal growing ornament includes a basic material made of a porous material and formed in a predetermined shape; a growth liquid formed to be absorbed into the basic material and evaporating after being absorbed into the basic material to generate a recrystallization phenomenon; a growth liquid supply unit connected to the basic material and formed to supply the growth liquid to the basic material after receiving the growth liquid; and a crystal growing body integrally formed outside the basic material due to the recrystallization phenomenon of the growth liquid.

Claims (16)

1. A crystal growing ornament, comprising:

a basic material made of a porous material and formed in a predetermined shape;

a growth liquid formed to be absorbed into the basic material and evaporating after being absorbed into the basic material to generate a recrystallization phenomenon;

a growth liquid supply unit connected to the basic material and formed to supply the growth liquid to the basic material after receiving the growth liquid; and

a crystal growing body integrally formed outside the basic material by the recrystallization phenomenon of the growth liquid,

wherein the growth liquid includes 20 to 75 wt % of a solvent, 20 to 50 wt % of urea, and 0.1 to 30 wt % of a coloring agent.

2. The crystal growing ornament of claim 1 , further comprising:

a support portion formed to support the basic material.
