The perfect crystal grow kit!
Reviewed in the United States on September 28, 2017
This is the best crystal grow kit we've ever experienced. We got a MASSIVE crystal grow yield from each of the colors. We used distilled water and had extreme attention to foreign particulates/dirt to the mixing/pan containers to ensure a pure solution. We let grow for about 5 weeks each or until the solution level reach the top of the crystals.PROs: excellent crystal yield and the colors remain vibrant for a longer period than most kits. Materials provided were high quality. Sample stones provided were also really cool and a nice touch.CONs: The crystals seem to leach salts onto the night light stand for a few days to weeks. We had to constantly clean the light stand off. Minor gripe. The leaching stopped after a few weeks and the crystals are fairly stable now.I would buy this kit for all my friend's kids. It really is that awesome.

It took me a while to figure out that, in the current version of this set, YOU DO NOT NEED TO REMOVE THE SEED ROCKS! I was very worried about doing this part, as I had read many reviews from frustrated people who broke their crystals trying to pry the seed rocks out of them. Then, right before trying to remove the first one, it occurred to me to stick in on the base first to see how it looked, without removing. It looked perfect! I went back to the reviews, did a key word search, and found in the features and details section it states "with our new crystal clear seed rocks, there's no need to remove them and risk breaking your delicate crystals." Whew, and thank goodness for that! The instructions don't state anything about removing the seed rocks, but they also don't state clearly to leave them in. Initially, I was just going by all the reviews and assuming I needed to remove them, but thankfully, I did not. Hopefully, this review might help others who are confused on this point.

We bought this kit for a Christmas gift and it was a big hit while we were setting up the experiment. You get 8 crystal mixes and seeds to work with and four silicon growing chambers. You will need to have a space set up where the chambers can sit for 7 to 10 days for the crystals to grow without being moved. One word of advise DO NOT US ALUMINUM CONTAINERS TO BOIL THE WATER AND DISSOLVE THE CRYSTAL MIX. The aluminum will react with the mix and you will end up with crystalline cotton candy instead of crystals shown on the box. The company Discover with Dr. Cool sent us a replacement crystal mix and seed to replace the botched crystal.

After they were done, I removed the crust from the edges of the cup, poured off the liquid, and eased the crystal out of the cup. They came out easily.
To get the seed rock out, I used a razor blade, went around the edges and flaked off the crystal growth to expose the edges, then used the corner of the blade to pop the rock out. I was veeeery careful and all 4 crystals came out intact!
It takes patience but totally worth it, the resulting night light is a treasure she will probably keep for life.

Ok so this kit takes a bit of effort but WOW the results are stunning! I bought this for my 6 yo daughter for Christmas. We set up the first 4 crystals per the directions and let them sit 10 days. We had fun looking each day to see how big they were.

I initially bought this for my niece but it was so tempting that my niece never knew about it 😈. It's fun and end results are pretty. Boil water, pour the boiled water in a bowl (exact water level marked on each cup), add the powder and stir until all powder is treated. Pour the solution into the cup, wait for 12 minutes and then drop the seed carefully into the solution. Place the cup in a dark area and keep it steady and untouched for 7 days. My end results are in the photos. Removing the seed is not that tricky, u need a knife and u need to remove the crystals forming around the seed edges. Once those are removed, stick the knife in between the seed and the crystal and gently remove the seed, crystal will be delicate at this time. Avoid cleaning the seed or exposing it to pressurized water directly when out of the cup.

After a week of very still conditions, and exactly the same amount of starting boiled distilled water, ONLY ONE of the crystal seeds actually produced a rock. And that rock looks nothing like the pictures on the box. So, forget the night-light stand. With only one crystal produced you can basically throw the night-light in the garbage. I suspect the starting materials were already stale. The bags felt lumpy, like they were already absorbing moisture long before they even left the warehouse.

So, it did come with instructions. However, the instructions did not say anything about the kind of cookware you should involve when warming and dissolving the materials. When I went looking for help on what was wrong with my crystals, I found other comments that said not to use aluminum pots. So, I contacted National Geographic very soon after receiving them. They said they would send out replacements. I have yet to receive them nor contacted by National Geographic. I'm disappointed.

My 8 year old son loved it!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 29, 2020Style: 6 Crystal LabVerified Purchase
Wasn't sure which crystal kit to buy for my 8 year old, who has a current interest in crystals and rocks. I am glad we bought this one, as he now has a crystal nightlight in his bedroom which he loves to bits, so it has not been shoved in a drawer somewhere. He and his Dad found the instructions easy to follow, and everything was included in the kit apart from the measuring jug and boiling water! With this kit you get flexible growing pots to grow the crystals in, which you don't get with most other kits. This makes sure they form to a shape that fits in the nightlight stand. There are 2 pots in the box so you can grow 2 crystals at a time. Ours took about a week to get to a decent size, and we discovered if you put a hairdryer on them when you first put them in the pots they do grow faster as they need some heat. I don't know if these would grow faster in summer time or you could put near a radiator to make them grow faster, but they have to be kept somewhere where they won't get knocked or they will be ruined!
The kit included a glow in the dark crystal which is an extra one, I think it's good to have an extra one in case one of the others gets broken. The colours aren't as bright as in the picture but they look great in the nightlight and it's nice that in can be used when it's all completed! Would recommend it.

Fun family activity - patience required
Reviewed in Canada on February 5, 2020Style: 8 Crystal LabVerified Purchase
Bought this for my young son and he loves it. It's definitely an 'adult assistance required' product though. That shouldn't disuade anyone though, just give them realistic expectations. As long as instructions are followed exactly (boiling hot water, stirred immediately, dissolved all powder, seed stone FLAT on bottom) you'll have a good time. That said.. The seed stone is still tricky after our 6th crystal. I recommend a sharp, small paring or steak knife. (Instructions recommend a spoon but no.. Just no) Gently scrape away any crystal growth that grew over the outer edge of the stone until it's all clear. Don't fret little bits that fracture away as you do this if it happens. Once that's done gently insert the tip between the stone and the biggest piece of crystal. Only a bit though such that the depth is barely measurable. Gently pry. You'll likely fracture off a piece of crystal, the stone, or both, and if that happens it's no matter, just move opposite that spot and repeat. Then in quarter turns keep trying till you get it. Keep a firm but steady grip around the base while you do this. Don't crush the gem, but dont risk dropping it.
As a gift to someone, I'd recommend against it because it's really something you should knowingly get yourself into. I'd hate to get a child excited at the prospect of growing crystals only to have their parent fail for lack of interest.

Followed the clear easy instructions and within 3 days we could see the crystals forming. I left them for 2 weeks to make sure the formed fully and were not too fragile to get out of the holders.
The light display (as you can see from the photos) really brings the colours out. My 7 year old son is very very happy with them.

Reviewed in Canada on May 2, 2018Style: 8 Crystal LabVerified Purchase
I bought this for my granddaughter for Christmas and she didn't get around to completing it until after the 30 day refund. It started off looking like it would be wonderful but after creating the crystals, the bottom part that is supposed to just 'pop out' wasn't even in the crystals. The crystals don't sit flat over the light fixtures and you can't see the light through them. Requested a refund but was denied because it was past the 30 days. I'd be happy to mail the whole thing back to them so that they can see that their product is garbage. Save your money and buy something that works from a company that values its customers.
