Smithsonian Crystal Growing Kit

You and your child may have grown plants together, but have you ever tried growing crystals? You'll both find the experience fascinating as you watch the 'citrine' yellow, 'emerald' green and 'aquamarine' blue crystals grow a little more each day. As your child follows the instruction booklet, they will also learn about the structures and 'habitats' of crystals, and perform three experiments. The instruction booklet also contains information on keeping lab notes, a detailed record-keeping log for each crystal's growth, and more.

Smithsonian Crystal Growing Kit includes:

• 3 bags crystal-growing chemicals (one each of yellow, green, and blue)
• 1 bag granite 'base stones'
• 2 lollipop sticks
• 1 magnifying glass
• 1 measuring cup
• 1 crystal-growing blister tray
• 1 pair of goggles
• instructions

Patience pays off as your child sees the crystals emerge day by day, blooming to fully grown in a few days.

Ages 10 and up with Adult Supervision.
