  Seed crystal - Biocrawler   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
A seed crystal is a small piece of single crystal material from which a large crystal of, usually, the same material is to be grown.
The large crystal can be grown by dipping the seed into a supersaturated solution, into molten material that is then cooled, or by growth on the seed face by passing vapour of the material to be grown over it.
Examples where the a seed crystal is used to grow large boules or ingots of a single crystal include the semiconductor industry where methods such as the Czochralski process or Bridgeman technique are employed.

 Crystal (mineral) - MSN Encarta
Crystals are produced whenever a solid is formed gradually from a fluid, whether the formation results from the freezing of a liquid, the deposition of dissolved matter, or the direct condensation of a gas into solid form.
Crystal growth is attained when a minute crystal that has formed abstracts more of the same constituent from its environment.
The thirty-two classes are grouped into six crystal systems, based on the length and position of the crystal axes, imaginary lines passing through the center of the crystal, intersecting the faces, and bearing definite relations to the symmetry of the crystal.

 Crystal Growing Made Easy   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Growing crystals is a slow and careful process because the crystals grow by adding single layers of molecules.  The crystal shape reflects the basic patterns by which the molecules of the crystal build up.
For example, growing a sugar crystal.  We start with a sugar solution which has as much sugar dissolve in it as possible.  As water evaporates, the sugar solution has too much sugar in it.  Sugar is forced to leave the water solution and become solid again.
Suspend the seed crystal into the saturated solution close to the bottom of the jar.  Use a piece of tape to fix the string to the side of the jar.

 Lemurian Seed Crystals

 How to Grow Crystals
In crystal growing is is celebrated as one of the easiest chemicals to use for growing large, clear crystals.
Most references recommend growing seed crystals by evaporating a saturated solution until single crystals form on the bottom of the bowl and then tying these at the end of a thread, which is then suspended in a growing solution.
The risk is that before it dries the paint may dissolve part of the crystal or worse, the chemicals in the paint may react with the chemicals in the crystal.

 Solar Energy Technologies Program: Silicon
As the seed is slowly raised, atoms of the molten silicon solidify in the pattern of the seed and extend the single-crystal structure.
In the Czochralski process, a seed crystal is dipped into a crucible of molten silicon and withdrawn slowly, pulling a cylindrical single crystal as the silicon crystallizes on the seed.
One "ribbon growth" technique—edge-defined film-fed growth—starts with two crystal seeds that grow and capture a sheet of material between them as they are pulled from a source of molten silicon.

 Mixtures and Solutions: Growing crystals of alum
However, when the last bits of liquid evaporate, they deposit tiny crystals all over the large crystals, which will make the large crystals less attractive as seeds (that is, when such crystals are used as seeds, the tiny crystals will grow and make the final crystal less visually appealing).
To grow bigger crystals, the whole process could be repeated, using this crystal as a seed crystal.
As a side note, during the times we were letting crystals grow (seed crystals or the final crystal), we always covered the container loosely with aluminum foil to prevent dust from settling in the container.

 MINIMUM SEED CRYSTAL SIZE FOR SECONDARY NUCLEATION OF POTASSIUM ALUM IN A STIRRED-VESSEL CRYSTALLIZER   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
The minimum seed crystal size or the minimum size, usually denned as the critical size greater than which seed crystals can produce secondary nuclei, was measured for potassium alum secondary nucleation using a seeded stirred-vessel crystallizer.
The minimum size was newly interpreted as a measure of difficulty of nucleation, by denning it as the seed size at which the nucleation rate, being increased as the seed crystals grow, reached a certain detectable level.
It was concluded that nucleation data obtained in a laboratory, using a small crystallizer, would be difficult to apply to industrial crystallizers because crystal-impeller collisions are unlikely to occur in large-scale industrial systems.

I suspect that SEED's use of '"human" race' in scare quotes was referring not to natural selection but human genetic engineering, cybernetics, uploading human minds into computers and in general all those "transhumanist" fantasies that some libertarians get all excited about.
Not that those are particularly likely to come true in the next 100 years (if ever).
