As I was helping my parents to clean out their old house I found a 1996 Smithsonian Crystal Growing Kit in my closet and it still had a couple of packets left from when I was a kid! So I'm going to grow these crystals for your amusement and then show you how you can grow your own with some items you may already have, or can get, for just a few dollars. This is a great experiment to do with your children to show them how many of our every day items have to mined. And how crystals can grow!

I am all kinds of interested in a Frankenstein project!!!! Thank You for the fun!!
You are so very welcome!
oooo funtimes !! i enjoyed making crystals along time ago with my kids...gonna give this a try ...yay...cheers!!
I need moooooore pretty crystals. Can't wait!
That looks like sooooooo much fun!!!!!!
It was!!!
I should be sleeping but here I am, watching you grow crystals….. but oh my, they are pretty!! It would be cool if you could buy just chemicals and try making them from scratch :)
You can actually. The Potash Alum is available online as is the monoammonium phosphate off the top of my head. If you want color you'd need to add a dye or food coloring but hey!
I absolutely LOVE doing these things! I've got some MEGA crystal growing kits waiting to be done right now. (Ive found National Geographic brand is best) Got one for me and one for my best friend. And another kit that has 6 crystals to grow if dif colors. ❤❤❤
If you want big crystals with ones that usually only form little ones you can grow a ''seed" crystal in a separate container and then suspend it in another, letting it grow big(with slow evaporation so maybe half cover the container) and occasionally removing other tiny ones that have formed, im growing a big copper sulphate crystal rn
I remember wanting one of those kits so bad as a kid 😅
This was a nice nostalgia trip, actually got a chemistry kit two different times, one from a tag sale and one for Christmas, and both I think had various chemicals to be able to do different experiments with (christmas kit I got to use them, tag sale kit I did not because I was like 6 and nothing was labeled, but the microscope was fun), including a starkly yellow power that could be used to grow crystals, think there was a clear one too, and of course the fun ones - rock candy (aka sugar crystals, though those were made in food safe containers not the test tubes)
The supposed crystal growing kit my son got for Christmas one year was longer on promise than anything else. Maybe if he had gotten a scanning electron microscope to go with it... Needless to say, the disappointment was palpable.
That's so cool!!!!!
Yes buy and make them! You're our guinea pig! 🤣🩵
Very cool video!
You might want to invest in some molds.
I'll probably toy around with it but sadly, as with everything I put a ton of work into on this channel, my efforts went unrewarded 😅.
@@mooneyfinemineral aww💔
@@faeriefire99 We're back to next to nobody seeing my stuff 🤷 and I'm putting more effort than ever in now. Aw well. Whatever.
@@mooneyfinemineral I HATE the algorithm. So. Very. Much.
This will be a fun project to do with the grandchildren. 🙂
Just remember to keep it out of their mouths unless you want a different kind of lesson 😆!
I remember growing crystals as a kid, maybe I should try again
😄
You should!
Thumbnail is me when i find big rocks with pretty crystals and i know i cant take them back due to their size; ive been excited about this though the crystals look pretty!
🤗
I'm all in for a Frankenstein set of crystals!
Mwa hahahahaha!!!!!
Ugh I’m jealous! I could never get those stupid things to grow 😜
Unfortunate!!!!
These will be fun for the kiddos teach them a little about science and make some cool crystals
😄 Have fun and bring a little wonder into their lives!
That video brought back some core memories. Very good times. Can you grow other crystals using easily obtainable things?
Sugar is the first one that comes to mind!
But I will be finding some common items to crystal up. Mark my words.
"Let's get into it"? "Peace"? You sound like Sean from Long Island Audit. 😂
Whomst? 😂
@@mooneyfinemineral I honestly can't tell if you're just being sarcastic. 😕
@@newshodgepodge6329 Oh, I have no clue who that is! Not trying to be sarcastic. I just am either unfamiliar or have forgotten 😄. Sorry!
@@mooneyfinemineral Seanpaul Reyes is an independent journalist. His channel/company is Long Island Audit. Part of his intro always includes the words "Let's get into it." He also ends his outros with "Peace." I couldn't help noticing the random coincidence.
I did that and the dea showed up
And that's why I chose that color haha.
