Hydrothermal Growth

Hydrothermal growth is a method used to create crystals or materials under high temperature and pressure using water or steam as a solvent. In this process, natural minerals dissolve in superheated water, and as the solution cools, minerals crystallize and form larger structures. This technique is often used to produce gems, semiconductors, and other materials for electronics. The controlled environment allows for the growth of high-quality crystals that can be used in various applications, from jewelry to advanced technologies.
