+After 2 days, the felt was beautifully covered by crystals. To light up 4 blue crystals, I used 2 coin batteries.

 After 2 days of bath the crystals look nice but the resistance was still very high, they were almost no conductive.

-I warmed up the remaining solution, added more paint and Alun and put the crystal back into the bath.
+I warmed up the remaining solution, added more paint and Alun and put the crystal back into the bath. I repeated the procedure 4 times for a total of 4 days

-**(how to make the circuit) To be completed**
+**RESULTS**
+The crystal looks nice on one side and less on the other and it is slightly conductive. In order to fully light up a green LED, I used 2 x 4,5 V batteries.

+**ISSUES**
+The crystal is not very conductive. The next time I will try to change the solution bath every 2 days to see if bigger crystals conductive electricity better and embed conductive thread in the crystal.
