-8. Miniature, sparkling white crystals harvested in exotic Hawaii make the perfect specimens for studying the wonders of science! Each educationally decorated packet contains hundreds of refined crystals. Completely safe and non-toxic. Only $9.99 plus $12.95 S&H.


The moon is actually more useful than the sun since the moon gives us light at night when it's dark. The sun only gives us light during the day when it's already bright out.
