National Geographic Rock Collection Box for Kids – 300+ Piece Gemstones and Crystals Set Includes Geodes and Real Crystals, Rocks and Minerals, Science Kit for Kids, A Geology Gift for Boys and Girls

This was a gift for someone who LOVES collecting rocks. They seemed to really love the gift. Personally I thought that the rocks and other pieces were much too small, but I guess I should have suspected that giving the size of the box and claimed quantity. I loved that a magnifying glass came with it and the sheet with pictures to match everything in order to know what each thing/rock is. I believe it serves its purpose and is educational. I believe it contains a great variety. The person who was given this seemed to be really invested in every single little thing inside the box and most importantly they seemed to really be enjoying themselves as well.

Great set for a little Geology enthusiast. Item(s) are as pictured. Great Variety for the price.

This is a good set for beginner mineral enthusiasts. But I wouldn't recommend it for professionals.

Mostly Small pebbles but overall good for kids.

fun for kids! my son was very excited about this, he’s into geology right now so he had a lot of fun doing the geodes! easy to use & does not make a huge mess. great variety of rocks, very beautiful to add to any crystal collection as well. supplemented our homeschool curriculum in science specifically geology unit so good value if buying for learning/teaching. rocks do not chips or break easily unless doing geode activity.

Perfect activity for my 5 year old. We used a large bucket from home and filled with sand. Mixed all these gems in the sand and let him shift through to find the treasure. Will purchase again for my nieces.

The picture in photo was my neighbors house. It was delivered there. But my neighbor came and delivered it to me. I was disappointed with the product I ordered, it didn’t look like photo. Box so little. I thought it was more of a cleaning and shining kit.
