Magic Rocks, also known as Instant Crystal Growing Kits, were initially introduced by the Smithsonian Institution in the 1940s. These kits quickly gained popularity among children and adults alike due to their ability to create mesmerizing crystal formations in a matter of hours. The Magic Rocks kit contains a packet of specially formulated chemicals, often made up of monoammonium phosphate or potassium aluminum sulfate, along with a small bag of gravel. To start the magic, one simply needs to place the gravel in a container and pour the chemical solution over it. Upon contact with water, the chemicals begin to react and form crystals on the surface of the gravel. These crystals grow and develop, transforming the plain gravel into a stunning array of vibrant colors and shapes.

Reviews for "The Magic of Smithsonian's Rock Collection: Mystical and Scientific Perspectives"
1. Jennifer - 1 star
I was really disappointed in the Magic Rocks Smithsonian kit. The rocks did not grow and instead just turned into a slimy mess. I followed all the instructions carefully, but it just didn't work. It was a waste of money and time.
2. John - 2 stars
The Magic Rocks Smithsonian kit was a letdown for me. The rocks did grow, but they looked nothing like the pictures on the box. The colors were dull and the formations were not impressive at all. I was hoping for a fun and visually appealing experiment, but it fell short of my expectations.
3. Sarah - 2 stars
I purchased the Magic Rocks Smithsonian kit for my son's science project, but it was a complete letdown. The rocks grew, but not in the way we expected. The crystals were small and hard to see, and they didn't produce any interesting formations. It was not worth the price and definitely not suitable for a science fair project.
4. Michael - 1 star
I am extremely dissatisfied with the Magic Rocks Smithsonian kit. The rocks didn't grow at all, even after following the instructions carefully. It was a waste of my money and a huge disappointment for my kids who were excited to watch the crystals form. I would not recommend this product.
