Mi hija de 8 años quiso este pack para hacer sus cristales, la ayude con la preparación, es muy simple pero obviamente necesitan ayuda. hice como mencionaron en algún Tip que leí, luego de prepararlo lo dejamos en un lugar iluminado y lo tapamos por 24 horas, luego destapado unos días y a los 7 días lo volvimos a semi tapar con una bolsa trasparente. Posterior lo destapamos nuevamente y se evaporo mucho más el agua, donde vivo creo y por lo que lei en las instrucciones funcionó así porque hace mucho calor y humedad, mas durante el día casi siempre estaba el aire acondicionado encendido. Esperamos en total 18 días, el resultado es alucinante y para mis hijos lo máximo. Ahora que vemos funcionó haremos otro. Todo llego a tiempo y funcionando.

Reviewed in Canada on February 13, 2021
I bought this as a Christmas gift for my 7 years old son. It was a really cool gift. We had a lot of fun growing the christals. It takes about days to grow them. We followed the instructions and used Brita water and a glass pan to boil the water. Covering the growing chambers for the first 24 hours make a real difference in the progress.

The only con is that the colors are not as bright as shown on the box. On the attached picture, the first line is Glow in the dark (looks green on the packaging, but just pure white), pink, red, green, second line is yellow, orange, purple and blue. They are still beautiful, and look really great over the lights.

Please be careful when removing the seed rocks from the christals. Don't let your child try to do it, it was even challenging for me to remove it, ended up a using a knife.

I can definitely recommend this product, it is great quality, interesting, fun, educational, and makes a great night lamp at the end.
