Crystal Creations

A scientist prepares his notes



Limesone, a penny and some vinegar. We wait.




Two days later, small crystals appear as the vinegar evaporates.

By Friday, five days of crystals are evident.




The penny adds a fancy blue tint to the crystals.

    He also enjoyed testing magnetism with a lodestone, floating pumice and triboluminescence with tumbled quartz. It was an activity pack, and it made for a great day!
