Once your crystals have reached their peak size, it is time to dry and showcase them.
Before you start, it's a good idea to familiarize yourself with the kit's contents. While the specific components can vary, a standard light-up crystal growing kit typically includes the following, similar to other popular kits on the market:

Snip open the glow-in-the-dark powder packet. Pour it into the mixture and stir thoroughly. Note: Glow powder does not dissolve; it suspends in the liquid, which is normal. Step 4: Let the Liquid Cool Slightly Once your crystals have reached their peak size,
Most versions of this kit, often found at retailers like Five Below or Kohl's, include the following components:
Once your crystals are dry, place them onto the included in the Science Squad kit. The LED light will catch the facets of the crystals you just grew, and if you used the glow powder, they will continue to shimmer even after you turn the base off. Troubleshooting Quick-Tips:
The kit is an educational science set designed to teach children about chemistry and geology through the growth of vibrant, luminescent crystals. By combining specific chemical compounds with hot water and allowing them to settle on a base, users can create structures that illuminate when placed on the included LED base.

After 48 hours, carefully pour out the remaining liquid (save it!). Turn on the . The “Glow” granules inside the crystals will absorb the LED light. Turn off the room lights. The crystals should emit a blue-green phosphorescent glow for 10-15 minutes after the LEDs are turned off.

Carefully pour the remaining chemical liquid down the drain with running water.
Choose a flat, stable surface that will not be disturbed for several days. Cover the area with newspaper or paper towels. Crystal solution can stain certain surfaces if spilled. Step 2: Measure and Boil Water Note: Glow powder does not dissolve; it suspends
