- coal or charcoal cracked open
- spoon and bowl
- 4 Tablespoons salt
- 4 Tablespoons water
- 2 Tablespoons clear ammonia
- 4 Tablespoons laundry bluing
- plasic bottles of food coloring
Directions
- Place the cracked coal or charcoal in the pan or dish, rough side up
- Mix the salt, water, ammonia, and bluing together in a bowl, stirring well to dissolve as much of the salt a possible.
- NOTE: For safety reasons very young children should only help crack the charcoal and mix the salt and water.
- Pour the mixture over the charcoal and add drops of food coloring in spots if colorful crystals are desired.
- Place the dish where it will not be bumped.
- Be sure to caution the children NOT to taste the mixture, as it may be quite harmful.
- In a few hours, the crystals will begin to grow and will continue to grow as the liquid evaporates from the pan.
- These crystals will more closly resemble sea coral then gems.

Do you have the Crystal recipe where you use a string in a glass? my son made it in class but can't remember the ingredients. Just this- there was a glass of liquid, a pencil and a string hanging of the pencil into the liquid mixture. The class had to wait seven weeks but I guess started growing within the first week, your sounds like it works right away.

This is really cool! Last year my husband bought our kids an expensive crystal growing kit, and they really enjoyed it. Who could have thought we could get the ingredients ourselves!
