How to make Kryptonite

Hello,
I'm going to tell you how to make Kryptonite with a piece of quartz (found at the beach) and a pair of green LED

Step 1: Piece of worn out quartz

When i'm walking at th beach under the cliffs i found some pieces of quartz.This quartz pieces where roll, roll and roll by the waves and they are worn out and polish.

Looks awesome, if you used the blockier quartz It would look like tiberium.

lol.... aww the good ol days of C&C. Back when games were made for gameplay, and not how quickly you can finish a round with the most points.

Thanks for the blast to the past, nice to see fellow C&C'ers still floating about.

a great rock for a project like this is a crystal known as calcite. its got great diffusive properties

Very nice. As i live near the beach I might even have to go scouting for some quartz myself. Loads of LEDs lying around here just waiting to be used

hello SWV1787 and alexthegreat , the rock of quartz is so fragile to use a hammer to scrape it and the blockier quartz i've found is not so "white" as I want, but I continue and perhaps a day i found it.

I think you should next try to use a rock blanket and rock hammer to scrape it into the classic crystalline shape from the movies. that and hide the batteries in the wooden platform so as to make it appear more movable.

Nice effect! Maybe it would be even better when a while bowl of these stones were used.
