Has any body tried growing crystals as LOS blockers?

Hey everyone,
Today I was walking through Hobby Lobby, and I saw those Grow-Crystals, and was thinking to myself, "Hey, those are kinda cool. Maybe I could use them as LOS and Movement blockers for HS. They're cheap, take little effort, and they're shiney". What more could you want? Although, the problem is, I don't have alot of cash to blow, and didn't want to waste the money on them if they didn't work well, so I was just wondering if anybody has tried this alread, and if so, did it work well?
If you have tried this, please post some pics, and let me know what you thought. Thanks!
TSS

PM me if you would like to know more.

Shut up.

You really need to either get a sense of humor or some better comeback lines.

But whenever he and the other Marvel heroes go out for dinner he always points out that he doesn't have pockets so where would he keep a wallet and makes one of them pay for his meal.

Ok Back on Topic (happy Dead Eye?)

I have seen those crystal growing kits before and I do not think they are sturdy enough for Scape...one table bump and they will fall over and shatter.

Yeah, that's kinda what I was thinking, but I wanted to see if anyone new for sure.

eric.dunfee Woo who?
I've read about growing them before. It was photocopied out of a magazine, and just required a few common items. Let me see if I can go dig it up.

EDIT: Ok, they're crystal gardens grown using charcoal as a substrate... and look nothing like what I was expecting. But probably much cheaper.
