Crystal Birth: A Beautiful Timelapse of Metallic Crystals Forming in Chemical Solutions

Italian photography student Emanuele Fornasier is fascianated by chemistry and spent the last few months filming the formation of crystals. The result is Crystal Birth, a timelapse of some 18 examples of electrocrystallization, where an electric current is run through a chemical solution, causing metal deposits to form over a period of several hours or days. You can see more of his chemistry and timelapse work on his website.
