Crystals, rocks and minerals are very
important. They come from deep in
the ground, the mountains, beaches…
and crystal shops. (I asked for crystals
for Christmas and got a beautiful set
– that’s an idea for you, readers!)
I went to a crystal and gem museum
in Scotland over the summer. There
were loads of gems and interesting
things to see and study. There are
even minerals from out of space called
meteorites. Here are a few of them:
Aft er I went to the gem museum I
became even more interested and got
into crystals and gems even more,
and I grew my own crystals using a
kit, with white vinegar, stones, food
colouring and a bit of grown-up help.
Here’s a photograph. Do you think
they look inspiring?
I have done a drawing of my favourite
crystal. Can you send in your pictures
or photographs? Tell me about your
crystals if you’ve got any.
