POTASSIUM PERMANGANATE CRYSTALS

Post by MadisonRose »

Hello,

I'm posting to see if anyone has a recommended supplier for (medium/large) Potassium Permanganate Crystals? Currently we are using ChemSupply, however the pieces are very fine and not suitable for picking out individual crystals.

Has anyone purchased Potassium Permanganate from a chemist, and if so, are the pieces larger than ChemSupply's version?

I've attempted to crystallize a saturated solution this week, but unfortunately what remains is extremely similar in size to the original form of Potassium Permanganate.

Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions! :)

I've also had teachers ask for these larger crystals for diffusion demos, and struggled to find a good source. Having bought the Gold Cross brand from a chemist, I found them still to be fine flakes, and not any better for this.
