Review on πŸ”¬ Enhanced Mini Explorer Crystal Growing Kit with Light-Up Feature by Patrick Ordonez

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Makes a crystal but read the full review!

I bought this for my 8 year old son. He wasn't very interested to be honest so I went ahead and showed him the process and he started to think it was cool. He loves the end product. I left it in the shower for a week longer than suggested because our crystals weren't yet out of the water, and once they were I poured out the water and let it dry in the cup for about 2 days. I did all 3 at the same time. I have followed the instructions. Worked great! I always have disposable gloves with me at home, but it would be nice if they were there. It would also be nice if the stand were black or blue instead of purple. To be on the safe side, I mixed it on the terrace. Instead of my son, I took it out of the containers when they were dry because they are fragile. UPDATE: (last 5 pics show what I'm talking about) About a week after writing the review and they've been on the stand for about 2 weeks, the stand and acrylic shelf I bought for it started crusting up like the Crystals were still forming. They also look matte rather than translucent. Clarity turns blue. I originally had 5 stars but got 3. They were dry before I put them on the stand because I even let them dry in the containers for about 2 more days after pouring out the solution and raised them even more to dry the floor. What a pity!

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
