No more removing seed stones!

It took me a while to realize that the current version of this set DOES NOT HAVE TO REMOVE SEED STONES!

Pros
  • Great fit for me
Cons
  • No instructions

Please give us 8 crystal growing kits. give us 8 SILICONE cups. not 4. We paid 30-40 dollars for it. Find an easier way to remove the nucleus…

Pros
  • Absolute Legend
Cons
  • Great price
