Discovery #Mindblown Ultimate Crystal Grow Kit

My 12 year old daughter has been collecting rocks and seashells since the age of 4. It’s a collection that her grandparents got her started on many years ago. She enjoys being in the outdoors and exploring things around her. She’s a total science nerd and is hoping to be a scientist when she grows up.

It includes 23 pieces so that you can grow 5 types of crystals, including a crystal geode and crystal formations that glow. Here’s what is included in the set:

2X Crystal Growing Compound 1.59 oz., 2X Crystal Growing Compound 6 oz., Crystal Growing Compound 3.7 oz, Crystal Growing M.A.P. 0.07 oz. each, 3X Crystal Seeding Mixture, Glue, Accessories, and a Night Light Base.

You can grow your own dazzling crystal garden and then make your creations glow with the included night light. There are full directions inside the box to complete the projects.

Fascinating Fact: How do Crystals Form?

The crystalization process occurs naturally when liquids cool and then slowly start to harden. Atoms in the cooling liquid cling to each other by electrical forces as they attempt to become stable. This pattern repeats itself over and over to form the crystal. Crystalization can be found in sugar, salt, gemstones, and other minerals. Snowflakes are an excellent example of how crystals are entirely unique. No two are alike! (information from the box).

    This kit sounds like a lot of fun but also a lot of learning. Big fan of any thing STEM learning for kids. So important for their futures. I am thinking about getting this for my great niece, she is a little young but I think with her mom’s helping she would have fun learning
