Sucks.

Does it come with that container

@toyy7675 the thing is with these kits, you cant follow the directions, or it fails. i tried to do that, and did everything correctly, but the crystals FELL off the rock! i reccomend (after some expirements) that you use room temp water to start with, and sprinkle a few crystals from the solution bag (without water) on top of the rock. (the rock should have a part that is out of the water) hope this helps!! :):)

@toyy7675 well Ive been experimenting with the kits, and I dont think the water actually NEEDS to be boiling. in fact, Ive gotten great results without heated water. this is what ive done: select a rock that fits in the crystal growing container. then mix whichever type of crystal you want with regular water. then put the rock in the container and pour solution over top. mine wasnt completely dissolved.that helps with the growth. now just wait! (make sure a part of your rock is not covered.):):)

i tried growin an amethyst but it didn't work i went through the instructions but the little crystals wouldnt' grow :( 

[toyy7675]

@toyy7675 But i don't see any growth unless its only supposed to cover the stone? And i got no idea what they mean about grow some crystals then use 2.8dl boiled water. So i am supposed to do what? Pour it into a container with normal water then just wait a week or a month then do the rest? Argh i need more information!

Am i doing it wrong?

[toyy7675]

This is not as easy as he claims...there is a lack of information X_X

It says pour the crystals into a container , but keep some of it then resolve it in water and grow crystals then boil 2.8 dl water and pour it in the container and mix it good.

Then place a stone in something like a emptey Coca Cola and pour the resolution in it and then afer a hour and use the rest of the crystal powder. Now after a week pour the solution over to another container and let the stone dry for two days done!..

@XDmitrey2000X Seed crystals are what the crystals grow onto. In this case the big shiny blue crystals in the end will grow into the little seed crystals, they don't grow from them. The blue crystals are dissolved in the chemical solution (the blue liquid) and will come out of solution and crystallize onto seed crystals. Seed crystals just speed up the process, because without them, the blue crystals will have nothing to grow on, but can can still grow from nothing - Spontaneous nucleation

Pffft They should sell kits that make synthetic diamond. For kids 12 and up (and who can afford the apparatus and manpower necessary).
