When Marty and I were in the mountains, we bought a container of "Rainbow Flame Crystals" from a little hardware store we came across. One evening we had a campfire supper and tried out our new flame crystals - as you can see from the photo, they worked great! The crystals gave off lovely flames of blues, greens, and purples. Flame crystals such as these can be found at hardstores (usually near their fireplace and woodstove supplies) and can be used in fireplaces, woodstoves and campfires according to the container. Your kids will love it!

Thank you for the idea. I am a newbie to the rainbow crystals - maybe if I buy the crystals first, the fireplace, etc. will follow?
You never know, Sharon!!
Have a great day -

You can also accomplish these beautiful colors in the fire by getting copper tubing about 8 inches long or so and cut slices on one side. Then take a piece of old waterhose and slide in the copper. Throw in the fire and the colors are magnificent. You just pull the copper pipe out after the fire is gone down or later to reuse. Be careful if you pull it out hot it may dent. as it is kind of "melty".:) Mel, VA
