Frequently Asked Questions

Crystal formation typically begins within 24 hours of placing a stone in the alum solution, with the best results - large, clearly defined crystal clusters - appearing after roughly 3 to 5 days. Leaving the stones undisturbed in a cool, stable spot helps the crystals grow larger and more evenly.
The kit includes three tumbled gemstones to collect alongside the crystals you grow yourself. Based on the box imagery, these appear to be amethyst, turquoise, and rose quartz-style stones, though exact varieties may vary by production batch. The manufacturer confirms three colourful gemstones are included in every box.
Alum (potassium aluminium sulphate) is a widely used, low-toxicity substance found in many food and cosmetic products. SES Creative recommends adult supervision during the mixing stage, as the kit contains chemicals that should be kept away from children under 8 and from pets. Hands should be washed after handling the powder and solution.
