3.0 out of 5 stars Fun, but not what it shows, June 29, 2007

I bought this at a store rather then Amazon. I followed all directions and all of the stones grew something on them, but it's not like the pictures they show you. Buyer beware, but I guess for the price it's worth experimenting.

We followed the directions and absolutely no crystals formed on the rocks provided nor on our own rocks. Don't buy this product. My chidren were very disappointed. the pictures on the box do NOT tell the story.

I bought this for my 7 year old daughter as a Christmas gift. We both enjoyed mixing the chemicals together, and putting everything together. I tried to use this kit to teach her how to safely perform some simple science experiments--she really was into the goggles and using the little magnifier that was included. We achieved mixed results as the crystals did not grow as large as we had hoped. To be fair, the guide that came with the kit cautioned the user to this possibility. Nonetheless, my daughter and I were pleased and she will be submitting this as a 2nd grade science project. I am very likely to buy another kit soon to try again.
