Anyone ever tried this with a plant? I wonder if freeze drying could be a substitute for the acetone dessication

“However, the process altered the coloration significantly due to the loss of chlorophyll and mobilisation of anthocyanins (red-blue pigments) during the dehydration and impregnation stages. Exposure of the finished plastinated specimen to bright light also caused it to turn brown over a period of several weeks. Further work is needed to refine the procedures for plastination of botanical material.”

… I’m assuming a little sarcasm here right?, about how potentially unsafe would it be to smoke or eat anything with it transferred.
Beautiful crystals by the way

no I was not being sarcastic, just trying to guess how the effect was achieved. And I haven’t tried to do it myself
In what I’m referencing though: a dichroic texture transfer pattern, it actually transfers a physical imprint of microscopic grooves and refraction patterns to your material of choice. I’ve seen it done in 3d printing as well as on chocolate.
I haven’t looked into the material types but I bet someone could make something compatible if they really tried. But I would not assume that any random transfer sheet is compatible.
Also probably like 84% of my ideas are silly.

Not silly at all! This is part of what makes this forum/community so great: to share our ideas without prejudice, share results, tips, etc.
… and not being a bag of ungratefulness as the guy who posted its glossy shatter, as Cyclopath (no need to tag him for this comment) mentioned it to be which I agree and would add: low temp to accentuate it.
It looks like a great job but that doesn’t justify the way he answers.

@cyclopath is a good dude, he helps quite a lot. Probably just got a bit o the tism like the rest of us.

Well, maybe science didn’t have all that much to do with these. Unless you’re deep into the fluid dynamics of viscous fluids, with/without solvent)

I call her Tailer.
In House analytics puts her at ~10% cannabinoids…does that make her a c-creature?
Would that make this guy a C-lion? (~55% cannabinoids)

Last pic looks like a specimen of agate I own, very pretty.
