Production and Synthesis
Czochralski Method
Czochralski Method
Involves pulling a crystal (boule) upward from a molten solution. Produces some of the purest crystals but requires a cleanroom environment.
Flux Method
Flux Method
Involves suspending a seed crystal near or inside flux with ingredients. Allows lower-temperature production. Sometimes produces gem-grade crystals.
