The experiment that's never been done

So as you might know, ice crystals can be grown in a laboratory to study the effects of temperature or humidity on them. One experiment that's never been done before is to create ice crystals out of liquids other than water. Crystals formed out of water would look different if compared to other crystals formed out of another solution, at least under similar conditions, because other liquids, or substances have different properties so they would grow differently. Snow is formed when water condenses onto dust. A similar experiment would be to use particles of a certain liquid as condensation nuclei for ice crystals.
