Review on NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC Expanded Crystal Growth Kit by Eric Surabhi

It took me a while to realize that the current version of this set DOES NOT HAVE TO REMOVE SEED STONES! I was very concerned about this part as I read many reviews of frustrated people who broke their crystals trying to get the seed stones out of them. Then just before attempting to remove the first one, it occurred to me to stick it in the base first to see how it looks without removing it. It looked perfect! I went back to the reviews, searched for keywords and found in the specs and details section that it says "With our new Crystal Clear Seed Stones there is no need to remove them as there is a risk of breaking your fragile crystals." Phew, and thank god for that! The instructions don't say anything about removing the seed stones, but it doesn't say clearly about leaving them either. At first I just looked at all the reviews and figured I needed to remove them, but luckily I didn't. . I hope this review can help those who are confused on this matter.
