Customer Review: Just limit expectations
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought this kit for my grandkids. I was excited about getting them interested in science. But first of all, the kit smells when you open the box and has a smell while storing it. We followed the directions completely and started with the blue sapphire crystals. Our experience was that even with the perfect shaped rock, doing as the directions state and waiting days and days for the liquid to evaporate, you get crystals that don't adhere to the rock, are colored only by what seems to be blue dye and if you wash it off at all, the color washes away. The color stains your hands and leaves a mess. While making one crystal, you can't start another one while the plastic cup is being used, since it's the only for certain crystals and you must try to find a cup the same size as the small plastic cup if you want to make another crystal.
This kit was pricey with the shipping and handling and I can think of other scientific things that would benefit children more. I ended up giving the kit away and for me, it seemed a waste of money. I was disappointed and so were the kids. With kids' short attention span, they are not excited about waiting a week to watch a crystal grow!
Overall, I would not recommend this product!
