Dear Careina, you could use the old crystals, that did not diffract, for microseeding to regrew nicer crystals. Once you have them, try to use them as quickly as possible. Three weeks can be a long time for crystals.
Storage in liquid nitrogen should not be the problem. Best, Tim On 08/14/2018 11:58 AM, Careina Edgooms wrote: > I got the most beautiful crystals I have ever seen and they don't > diffract at all.
