$5.00 K100  Here is a really neat activity for kids.  This is a Bubble Rock.  It is a Limestone mineral that is found in Western Utah.  This kit provides an indoor rock garden any time throughout the year.  When White or Clear vinegar is added, tiny White Aragonite crystals appear and gradually place themselves to form clusters of pure White blossoms.  The process can take 2-3 weeks and the directions are on the back of the package.  I did this project with my 7 year old son and he just loved it.
