What kind of white needle-like crystals would grow in a dirt-floor moist crawlspace?

Salt crystals can, but Bultfonteinite is usually white. So that may be what you are looking for. I found a link for you with a pic so you can see if it is what you are refering to.\nThe website also has other crystals just in case that is not it, you should be able to find it there.

Answering the question would be easier if I knew which type of mineral you were looking for.  Try looking on this link:\n\nhttp://www.rockhounds.com/rockshop/table.shtml\n\nIf you are looking to purchase, there are many people willing to take your money.  For information and more reasonable prices, there are rockshops (non new age) sprinkled through out the country, and the 2 best gems shows are in Denver & Tuscon.\n\nThe next issue is size.  In different mineral species, different sizes are considered large.  For example, quartz crystals up to the size of a gallon jug are found in Mt Ida, AK while selenites have been found in Mexico up to 20 ft tall (note that these are single crystals, not undifferentiated masses).  The largest rhodocrosite is about 6.5 inches per face (in the Denver Natural History Museum), the largest calcite is around 2 foot long (Shifferdecker Museum in Joplin, Mo).  With my friends, I have found a 14" double terminated calcite in Okhlahoma, and a nearly 2 foot selenite in Kansas.\n\nSolution minerals are more typically accessable when compared  with igneous ones, but all the hugest crystals are of igneous origin.  Most of the world record holders are so big thay can never be moved from the mine, unless destroyed.\nIf you seek mineral materiel without reference to single crystals, rough is available in masses shipped in either oil barrels or box cars, usually for industry or amature lapidary work.\n\nIf you are seeking gem materiel, it is unlikely that you can find it for a price within reason, even the synthetics. \n\nIf you are seeking geodes, the warsaw shale is the place to look.  It extends through out the midwest.\n\nThere are groups of rockhounds all over, and we go forth to find exactly what you are seeking.  However, there is actual physical labor involved, and possibly travel costs.  You might consider also speaking a professor with the local college in your area.

Hi, I live in Sheridan, WY,  We have nightcrawler cups at a lot of the outskirt conveniece stores.  They are 4 to 5 inches in diameter and stand about 2 inches tall.\nIt is a lot like a perkins to-go cup for soup.  You might try that as an option.   You could even go to a local resturant and ask managment to order you a box of the cups.  Then get a stamp for you brand and price.  And shop at garage sales for small refrigerators to store your worms in.\n\nGood luck!!!

Check with your local carpet store.  They would probably be happy to donate them.  Usually when they get new samples in they sell the old ones for a minimal price, but for a school they might would help you out!

the one with red hairs and crystals is the chronic. the real sticky icky icky as my man snoop would say. Some people refer to it as the "female" plant. I dont know why Ive only heard it from a bunch of potheads whom I hang out with. aand none of them are laced with meth,it only means that its gonna run you a bit more for a quarter, but worth it

Fungi grow from mycelium, which is a white cob-webby network of very fine fibers under the ground.  \n\nI hope this is what you mean.

check out hydroponics, soilless growth, with sodium halide lamps. Amazing growth rate but expensive for electricity. you can find the right kit on ebay. happy growing, man:)

so do you want the color of Potassium Hydrogen Sulfate (KHSO4), or Sodium Hydrogen Sulfate (NaHSO4)? I guess it wouldnt matter, they would both be colorless anyway. In crystalline form they would be white to clear crystals too.

The classic indoor plant of british literature is the Aspidistra (see link). A similar plant is the so-called "Happy Plant" (Dracaena). Any plant that grows on the forest floor in almost constant shade would be good for diffuse light. Se second link for lots of examples.

Try a garden nursery. They will have soil testing kits that have test tubes in them.

For my science fair, I grew crystals.  My dad teaches at the high school I went to, and the physics teacher there told him about it.  Here's a neat site that explains how to do it.  I found it fascinating!\n\nhttp://www.sdnhm.org/kids/minerals/grow-crystal.html
