I just did this kit with my 3.5 yr old. First time, kept her mostly watching. Key is very clean water, hot water, good mix (used a whisk, spinning it in my hands). Kept it in a windowsill for about 2 weeks. Water was all evaporated. Cut the rubber cup apart to remove it. Best part might be afterwards when we had all the "waste" material from the side of the cup. Pulled some large crystal sheets from it my kid could handle and explore. Used the bottom of the cut down cup to pile up all the "waste" from the cup sides, filled it with a couple mL of water so the pile of little crystal sheet fragments were partially submerged (they dissolve extremely fast in water). Then she could watch smaller crystal growth experiments and be a part of it bc i wasnt afraid of failing the main experience anymore!
Thank you. I just finished doing this with my son and worried I’d done it wrong somehow even though I read the instructions. Couldn’t help but look for information on it afterwards just to see. Looks like we did it perfectly and should see some crystals within the next week! Ours was green 🥰
The instructions that came with the lab say that light, warmth and no vibration are important. The video says to make sure it is dark. So what is correct? I will try one of each and see what works best.
The cup is to allow it to dissolve. More may allow it to dissolve, but at the detriment of taking a lot longer to form the crystals. Ideally you want just enough to dissolve almost all of it- like 1-2cm or 1/2 inch high. Pellet or crystal- as long as both are the same mineral it will grow. The most important factor is the heat and time left to grow this thing. The warmer and dryer the air, the quicker it will concentrate the solution to form crystals. Too quick and it all all form at the bottom. Hence, the bad extraction from the cup. The malleable cup eases the extraction.
I tried it and kept the crystals in a warm and dark are for almost a month 26’ days but it started crumbling up once I took it out. Everything outside the seed rock had crumbled. So I put the seed rock back inside the container with hot water. Will it work? What should I do. I need some information 🙏 🙂
0:44 - seeding rock placed in a glass with solution. 00:46 - end result is in a different glass. I bought a kit for my child, we did it together and it didn't work. OK, devil is usually in details so I searched for a proper video tutorial only to find this.
I have a seed rock AND a little white dissolvable rock-type pellet. On here the seed rock is placed in, but the instructions I have show the pellet. I’m confused!

This video says to store in the dark while the instructions say to store it in the light. Which is it?
We have this kit and followed instructions and kept it in a light area - didn't work! Maybe it DOES need to be in a dark space
Damn. I’m so conflicted!
Yeah that's what I thought too
Dark space

In my volcano science kit, I found a crystal maker
Ours was green too
Do you use the plastic thing to keep the crystal in to grow or what is it for ? It has a fill line is it just for measuring I’m confused

After buying one myself and trying both light and dark, I can say that the crystals absolutely need light. They won't grow in the dark.
so can i put it like by a window?
Yes, I think need light. Unfortunately this video is wrong…
I have now made all of the crystals with my kids and can say, without question, lots of light will produce better results.

How do you get the seed crystal out without breaking the crystals off? Can I dissolve it in boiling water? It will not come out.

Did that help?
Mine isnt dissolving but we added the boiling water... can i reheat it or juat have to leave it alone?
If we buy two and pull it in more water, crystal would be bigger?
Does it really have to be hot or boiling water?
Yes
Does anyone know what kind of crystal/chemical compound this is?
So then can you rinse with water and handle with your bare hands?

I lost quite a bit of the crystal in the extraction process.
Wait so you only boil 1 cup this is confusing
@@fantasygaming8458 yes
I just want to see a compilation of people removing the seed tbh
same
man it feels wierd talking to my alt account
What about the little crystal that the thing contain, it contains 2 Little Rock , the seed one and the crystal one
I have a seed rock AND a little white dissolvable rock-type pellet. On here the seed rock is placed in, but the instructions I have show the pellet. I’m confused!
Can i ask? Is the solution reusable?
Idk
mine says store in light also
What if the form would have pyramid shape?

Dos de cuatro intentos se han destrozado al intentar sacar la roca semilla, queda tan pegada que es imposible...
can you use a plastic measuring cup instead of glass?
Robin Deal It has a plastic measuring cup in the kit
@@hamis8250 nope
I read my crystal making thing and it said turquoise rocks like that in the video is a fake crystal
I'd like to see how they magically switch the containers 😂
Same thing i was thinking 🤔 😂
@@elhatchie7379at least what I can say is that it worked for us
Same! I’m here trying to figure that out as well.
Do we cover it or not
Zarmeen asif you have to cover it while is it growing or not?
I’d leave it open. It needs to evaporate to concentrate the solution.
Hola como se puede aser una masita con utilisando cosas que tienes en casa
This is awesome
yeah
making mine tonight 💖 ꒰･‿･꒱
full leo moon
I have that crytal
Its called a Crystal.
@@Sofiv3 😂
Mine is working I don't know why You guys crystals are not working?
So you only put 1 cup of water to boil?
Cool
I lost my instructions thank you
Walter white
Too bad that I tried that once in a dark place for 10 days then it was a fail but I’m trying again
same and it was good
it actually worked
