Abstract: A crucible for use in producing a compound crystal in which a pre-treated product is made by melting a powdery or granular compound raw material and then cooling and solidifying it in a pre-treatment furnace, and the compound crystal is grown by melting the pre-treated product and then cooling and solidifying it in a crystal growing furnace, the crucible comprising: a first member having a bottom portion and a cylindrical portion; and a hollow cylindrical second member that is capable to be connected to the cylindrical portion and to be separated therefrom, wherein: in a state in which the first member and the second member are connected together, a large capacity crucible for manufacture of the pre-treated product is formed; and in a state in which the first member and the second member are separated from one another, a small capacity crucible for crystal growth is formed.
