Smithsonian Micro Crystal Growing Kit

What is a crystal? How do crystals grow? What are crystal systems and what is the importance of crystals? Get answers to these questions and lots of fun facts as you watch your colourful crystals grow, grow and grow! Put the granite rocks into the crystal growing cup, then add water with the included chemical powder to watch them over the next few days. Your orange crystals will appear seemingly out of nowhere, and if you add blue food colouring (not included), you can make the second batch green!
