Blooming Rock Update

It took longer than the couple of days mentioned on the package, but the Blooming Rock we talked about last month did indeed bloom. Kinda hard to get a good picture because we haven't removed it from the bowl yet. It is very fragile and we're hoping over time the new crystals will harden more.

 

Nature's Treasures

Yesterday we went to a really cool store called Nature's Treasures. They have all sorts of gems, minerals, fossils and even dinosaur poop! The giant crystals and geodes are so fun to look at. There was a great selection of dinosaur books - I will definitely be going back before Spencer's birthday.

We brought home a Blooming Rock - a rock that (we hope) will form tiny crystals after soaking in vinegar for a few days. We'll keep you posted...
