==General Procedure==
The most general way to grow a crystal includes forming a supersaturated solution by heating up water and adding in the crystal medium, here I used Potassium Ferricyanide, until is doesn't dissolve anymore.

For a general procedure, the following link can be used: [https://sciencenotes.org/grow-natural-bright-red-potassium-ferricyanide-crystals/ How to Grow a Potassium Ferricyanide Crystal]

The following is the procedure that I followed:
# Obtain potassium ferricyanide, a 250 mL beaker, a stirplate/hotplate, and a stirbar.
# Begin heating up the water on the hotplate and add the stirbar.
# Once hot, begin adding the potassium ferricyanide (It will take some time for it to dissolve, but it eventually will).
# Keep adding until the rate of dissolution decreases( The article above mentions to use about 93g in 200mL of water).
# Cover the finished solution with something(a watchglass or parafilm) and let it sit overnight.
