They are not mentioned in the instructions.** A: Hi Andy,You can use the display stand (triangle piece) to display the genuine specimen (amethyst). **Q: can this product expire if i wont do the kit in like a month ?** A: The chemical reaction should not expire. We back our kits with 100% satisfaction, if you have any issues with your kit, please contact us directly at help@natgeotoys.com **Q: Do the glow in the dark crystals really glow?** A: Jim, thanks for your question. Yes the “seed” crystal will glow, it is fluorite, a naturally occurring crystal that will glow. After the crystals grow, expose them to bright light for a few minutes. Then, take them to a dark room to see the glow. **Q: Do you need any additional supplies outside of the kit to grow? Some kits require an old sauce pan.** A: Hello Shannon,The only extra items you will need for this kit are a jar or container to grow the crystals and the hot water to add. I hope you enjoy your kit!

As a parent of four elementary school aged kids, don't kid yourself on how damaging smart phones are, invest yourself and your wallet in your next generation, and spend some time with them exploring the world of science and discovery with tactical, hands on experiments and activities. National Geographic offers the best - high quality (equipment isn't cheap which means it lasts), real science - not just baking soda and vinegar - and excellent and interesting supporting materials which provide interesting and relevant context. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Teachable moment *by on Reviewed in the United States February 19, 2021* I’m always looking for a moment to teach my son something new but also spend some time together. I’ve tried out a few different National Geographic science kits and this is one of my son’s favorites. It takes awhile but it’s all hands off time I think like 10 days to grow. It grew to a decent size and glowed well after being “charged” with an led flashlight. Overall my son was thrilled and I think this is the perfect gift for any elementary school aged child or a parent looking to teach something new. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Make sure your solution is clear *by on Reviewed in the United States July 26, 2016* The reason I give this product 4 stars is due to the seller's kindness. The first time I grew this with my son, I dissolved the powder in 1 cup of water as directed to in the booklet. I got a cloudy solution, and I remember at the time thinking if I should strain it or not to avoid crystallization points in other areas besides the seed rock. Unfortunately I didn't, and after letting it cool for 15 minutes, I added the seed rock and noticed a rim of "snow" already. After 5 days there was nothing other than a crystal snow, which although impressive, was not our goal.The seller sent a second package with the instructions:Please take these steps with your next experiment in order to achieve optimal results:1. Use a clean (be sure there is no soap remaining after you wash) glass jar as a growing chamber. A wider mouth works better as it allows for more evaporation during the process.2. Use VERY hot water as indicated by the instructions (adult supervision required). (Filtered or distilled water will work best because it will be free of other dissolved material)3. After dissolving your crystal growing powder, let the solution cool for about 15 minutes before adding the seed crystal.4. Once the seed crystal is added place your prepared growing chamber in an out-of-the way place where is won't be disturbed for the during of the growing process.Here are the alterations I used:I used 1.25 cups of water instead of 1 cup. This fully dissolved the powder into a clearish solution. I then quickly filtered it with an Aeropress (which can handle hot liquids). This gave a very clear solution. Then after cooling, I added the seed crystals. I am unsure if you can just gravity filter with a funnel and some loose coffee filters, but the Aeropress was easy.This worked much better and the crystals are slowly growing on the seed crystal. I suspect the process might be faster if I used less water and had a saturated solution, but I didn't want snow again.This experiment was less of a sure-shot than the Ice Age kit that we got (which grew both snow and large single crystals). Here is the ice age kit: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0039N4JAC/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 ## Frequently Bought Together - NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC Purple Crystal Growing Lab - DIY Crystal Creation - Includes Real Amethyst Crystal Specimen - National Geographic Jumbo Crystal Growing Kit - Grow Your Own Giant Glow in The Dark Crystal in a Few Days with This Crystal Making Kit, Science Kit, Grow Crystals for Kids (Amazon Exclusive) - NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC Craft Kits for Kids - Crystal Growing Kit - Grow a Crystal Garden in Just 6 Hours, Educational Craft Includes Art Project, Geode, STEM Arts and Crafts for Girls (Amazon Exclusive) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/20987306-national-geographic-purple-crystal-growing-lab-diy-crystal-creation-includes](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/20987306-national-geographic-purple-crystal-growing-lab-diy-crystal-creation-includes) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-07-18*
