As the liquid evaporates, complex salts form, creating a magic moon garden.
1/3 cup salt
1/3 cup water
1/3 cup regular laundry bluing
1/3 cup ammonia
3 to 4 lumps of charcoal
Food coloring
Combine water, salt, bluing, and ammonia. Place charcoal in a glass dish. Pour mixture over top and dot with a few drops of food coloring. In a few days (when crystal growth stops) action may be re-started by adding a teaspoon of ammonia.
