Explanation:
You can "grow" crystals in a solution. We used to do it as kids- they can become quite big- and very beautiful.

  -> Thanks Ingo, but see also Ulrike's answer- it's down to the concept of what's "natural". I was meaning crystals which were not press formed.

natural cystals?


Explanation:
To understand the difference between crystal potpourri and the other products it’s best to explain exactly what it is. Crystal potpourri is a *natural crystal* that has been scented with the highest quality of fragrance available for your aromatic pleasure. It is used to scent a room and can even be color coordinated to match your décor. A half pound in an open container with fragrance oil will scent a bathroom. For larger rooms a pound with the oil will leave a pleasurable scent for all to enjoy.

agree  redfox: If you read all the references on this page it appears that "grown" is implied and thus not necessary
