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

Bit late but I thought I’d write my review of this product I got my 9 year old son for Christmas last year. When he opened this present he was very happy to say the least and I was surprised at how much you get inside the box and he now displays them in his bedroom and wants even more boxes of these but the bigger ones now, maybe a birthday idea in mind. Great price and product, one happy boy, thank you.

Interesting contents with wide range of rocks to interest and educate my grandson

This kit is a small adventure packed in a box, perfect for my 7 year old godson who already considers himself a professional strange rock hunter. The variety of minerals and crystals is genuinely exciting, and the whole presentation invites curiosity. I didn’t go for the full 5 stars because I expected more large specimens. There are a few impressive ones, but most rocks are on the smaller side, which leaves you wishing for just a bit more wow factor. Still, it’s a charming and engaging kit. Kids will love the digging, the discovering and the little surprises hidden inside. I definitely recommend it, especially for young explorers with big imaginations.

My second time buying this item, so I can highly recommend. First kit I bought for my 10 year old, for his birthday. Once his 11 year old cousin saw it, he was fascinated, so this Christmas, I have bought it for him. The information booklet doesn't cover all the samples and thats why originally gave 4 stars. However, when my son goes through his collection and can't categorise one, he actually researches it, until he can, which is fantastic and so beneficial for his education. I have always bought little STEM kits, but most don't last after a few experiments. This however does, and they can build onto the collection. The price, the quality and education is excellent. I would highly recommend to any parent.

Very nice gift for someone that likes rocks!

Grandson loved it!!

Expected a decent sized box.. let's say about the size of a monopoly game box.. Instead it was about the size of of a tablet device. Few ok sized stones fair enough about 10.. .. but 2 bags of what was basically very small aquarium gravel.. quarter the size of a pea... Considering no stones are precious or of any value.. just education of course it would be nicer to have a few medium and larger sized rocks rather than a mix of hundreds of particles. 280+ of the stones are barely visible and will end up in the bin as can't display. My son loves geology he's not got the gift for his birthday yet.. coming soon.. At least I got on black Friday deal.. still feel a bit ripped off.. wouldn't advise paying full price. But I guess u pay the national geographic brand tax. Essentially u get 2 tiny geodes size of a cherry tomato.. 2 bags of polished aquarium gravel.. but smaller.. 1 bag of about 8 polished stones about the size of a small marble. And a shot glass of fossils u can fit all on a table spoon.. And a couple of leaflets a tiny plastic magnifying glass and a tiny pouch.. Worth maybe £20 max full price for online.. £30 in-store pushing it..
