It is exciting to watch the okenite absorb the food coloring so rapidly. Like a cotton ball, simply touching the okenite to the liquid draws the food coloring deep inside the cluster in an instant.

That is so cool! So that is how the natural okenite “changes color.” Would it be correct to assume, given the ease with which this could be done, that people glue the crystals on or would they simply be dropping dye on the okenite? Personally it looks like a bunny tail that rubbed too much Easter egg dye to me, but then I like the white puffs.
