| Answer: | If you have additional powder, you should be able to grow an additional crystal reusing the seed rock. |
| Question: | Does this require a computer download of any kind |
| Answer: | Our Crystals can be handled once they are grown. We do recommend washing hands after contact. For more information please contact us directly at [email protected] |
