Fun , easy, educational. Don’t recommend for too young kids who don’t have patience.
This was a gift for my 9 year old for Christmas. He liked it, easy to do and the crystals mostly did great. Out of the 6 , only 1 didn’t grow very well. Unsure why. Be aware the light up device only holds 5 crystals, not 6.The instruction booklet is outdated. It sent you to a video link that doesn’t work, but it’s easy enough to youtube “national geographic crystal growing”. Another point is that the video instructions conflicted with the booklet. One said “grow in the dark”.. the other said “grow in the light/warm room”.. In the end we did half the batch like the video and the other half like the booklet. It was a great learning experience in experimenting and teaching my son to observe which was ‘better’.The box also contained just 2 plastic containers.. but we used glass cups from our kitchen since you have to wait 7+ days. We experimented which did better in the soft plastic container v.s. glass cup..

Cool Crystals
Fun crystals to grow, I let them grow for about 2 weeks and they turned out really well. The only issue I had was removing them from the seed rock, I completely destroyed a crystal trying to remove it and didn’t bother with the other crystals. The light up display is a cool idea and based on other reviews they turned out great, I just had troubles removing the crystals without destroying them. Photos were taken with a DSLR and a macro lens.

Cheap corner cutting
Honestly, this one was a disappointment. They give eight crystal bags, two cups, one spoon. We had to improvise for a group. Are they so cheap now they can’t provide eight silicone cups? Eight wooden spoons? I had to waste my good canning jars.There’s a sheet with tiny print instructions and some sample crystals with nothing written about them except a little blurb on the box.This could have been way more engaging and educational, with a much nicer and robust instructional sheet or better, a bound booklet the kids can keep and reference. It could have gone further into the science of how the crystals form.Overall this was a disappointment. The only cool thing they spent on was the plug in light up base. That’s pretty sweet.

Es un excelente regalo de cumpleaños o navidad. Muy fácil de hacer y se ven increÃbles los cristales
by Tina
Wenn man sich an die Anleitung hält, entstehen wunderschöne Kristalle. Auch der Kundenservice ist sehr freundlich und hat bei meinem Problem umgehend reagiert und für eine Lösung gesorgt.Wir “laden” den selbstleuchtenden Kristall immer über das Display auf. So leuchtet er super. Die Farben der Kristalle sieht man auf dem Display deutlich.Klare Kaufempfehlung!

Ho acquistato questo kit per i miei due bambini appassionati di pietre e minerali e regalato a Natale. Finora l’esperienza è stata davvero positiva! All’interno della scatola c’è tutto l’occorrente per creare i cristalli, oltre a 6 pietre. I miei bambini hanno apprezzato queste pietre, anche se senza troppo entusiasmo: da un lato perché hanno già una loro collezione di pietre e cristalli, dallâaltro perché non viene spiegato di che tipo di pietre si tratti.Il kit è consigliato dagli 8 anni in su, ma con la supervisione dei genitori è adatto anche per bambini più piccoli (i miei hanno 7 e 5 anni). Noi adulti ci occupiamo della preparazione principale e loro ci aiutano a mescolare; un bambino più grande potrebbe invece gestire tutto in autonomia.La presenza del supporto con luce per esporre i cristalli è un’idea carina, anche se contiene solo 5 cristalli, mentre il kit permette di produrne 6 e quindi uno non viene esposto.Abbiamo deciso di crearne due alla volta, dato che i contenitori inclusi sono 2. Questi contenitori sono morbidi, il che li rende perfetti per estrarre i cristalli una volta completati.Il processo richiede pazienza per i piccoli: dopo la preparazione, i cristalli devono “maturare” per 4-5 giorni (meglio una settimana). Per ora noi abbiamo completato due cristalli e altri due sono in fase di crescita, ma siamo entusiasti del risultato! Un kit creativo e divertente che consiglio a chiunque voglia avvicinare i più piccoli al mondo della scienza e dei minerali.
