National Geographic Glow-in-the-Dark Crystal Growing Lab

Grow something spectacular

There is something rather magical about growing your own crystals.

Growing ones that glow in the dark? Now we're talking.

The National Geographic Glow-in-the-Dark Crystal Growing Lab lets children experience the fascinating process of crystal formation for themselves, watching as their experiment gradually transforms into an impressive crystalline creation.

Rather than simply ending when the experiment is finished, the resulting crystal becomes something children can display and admire — particularly once the lights go out and the glowing begins.

Part science experiment, part geological adventure and part extremely cool bedroom decoration.

Good to Know

Crystals form when atoms or molecules arrange themselves into repeating structures. Growing one gives children a chance to watch a process that normally happens naturally underground over much longer periods.

Patience is required — which may be the most scientifically challenging part of the entire experiment.

Perfect For

Crystal collectors, geology fans, budding scientists, STEM gifts, birthdays and children who enjoy experiments with something impressive to show at the end.

Encourages

Patience, observation, scientific curiosity, following instructions, geology knowledge and understanding how crystals form.
