Dan&DarciRock Fossil & Mineral Collection & Activity Kit. Includes 250 Real Gemstones Crystals Sprning Mat Science Gift for Kids Bulk Rough Rocks Polished Gem Stones Genuine FossilsMulticolor

It hasn't been opened yet, is a Christmas present. BUT it is a decent sized box and looks even better than it does online if that helps! Sorry folks.

Bought as a gift for my son he is very impressed by it, good quality would recommend

I like that there are so many different kinds of stones and fossils along with a sheet explaining which are which.

Not a Fossil in sight , Included many more gems than ( 250) advertised ( about 280 in all) but disappointingly so very small , fragments in some cases

Approximately 2 5ths of the pack were just regular stones you'd use for a garden and the fossils were practically all shark teeth. The actual gems i got were very nice. For the price paid I'm rather dissapointed

Very small as other reviews have said. I thought I'd take the chance. Not worth the money, fossils are not all what they say, very disappointed with what was in the collection. Mainly tiny little rocks that are not special. The Dancing Bear brand was a bit cheaper and much better over all.

Ho acquistato il Kit per la raccolta di roccia, fossili e minerali e devo dire che è davvero ben fornito. Contiene tutto il necessario per esplorare e imparare sulla geologia, con una buona selezione di strumenti e campioni. È perfetto per chi vuole avvicinarsi a questa affascinante attività, sia per adulti che per bambini. L’unico difetto che ho riscontrato è che tutte le istruzioni e le informazioni sono scritte in inglese. Questo può essere un po’ scomodo se non si è familiari con la lingua, ma a parte questo, il kit è di ottima qualità e offre tante possibilità educative. I campioni di minerali e fossili sono interessanti e ben curati, e gli strumenti sono utili per esplorare e raccogliere. In generale, un buon acquisto per gli appassionati di geologia, ma sarebbe perfetto se ci fossero testi in italiano.

Okay, confession time. I am almost forty-one years old, yet I ordered this kit for myself, not for a kid. I love rocks and crystals and minerals, not for healing, but just because they are fascinating and beautiful. I didn't have much before, so I decided to get what would sort of be a starter kit for myself. I was vacillating among this kit and a couple of others on Amazon. Here's what I got: 1. A set of tumbled stones of varying sizes, pictured in the oval dish with the red mechanical pencil for scale. 2. A set of most of the same stones in rough form, pictured in the rectangular dish. 3. A good-sized bag with a mix of smaller tumbled stones. They came all mixed together, but I have a penchant for sorting, so I have sorted all of mine out into little baggies. 4. A set of fossils, in the plastic box. 5. A "special" set of pumice, pyrite, and desert rose. 6. A big plastic identification mat (not pictured) *Note--there was not any plain gravel/limestone filler. All of the stones were good for keeping. The description uses the words "activity kit," but there aren't really activities included. I guess the activity part is blowing up the Internet like I did, trying to identify some of the stones that aren't on the mat. All of the larger ones were, but in the tumbled mix of smaller stones there were lots that weren't. I still have a couple pieces of "confusionite." I did run into one oddity: a few of the small stones had a round shape, almost like a marble cut in half. It's almost like they're tiny game pieces. Really I have only one disappointment: the desert rose. It is in the photo with the three stones. I was expecting a small but entire crystal structure, but it actually looks like there was a desert rose that was sawed into multiple pieces and I got one of the pieces. In fact, it has a couple of smooth flat sides where it was cut. You can't really get a sense of the structure and shape at all. Some of the other rough stones have flat sides, too, as though they were cut from larger chunks, but those aren't as bothersome as the desert rose. So it's a great set. If all of the sets are as good as the one I got, the purchaser should be well satisfied.

Bought this for our daughter for Christmas she was absolutely thrilled. The entire kit was Exceptional. Have bought many other brands and this will be the only one I will definitely buy from again. So many gem stones, crystals and fossils that it kept her busy for a long time. It came with a poster with a ton of information on each item, multiple high quality keepsake bags and even one for favorites and a little display box to keep the fossils safe. Highly recommend this item to anyone who has a loved one who enjoys collecting these.

O kit é lindo, mas não vieram as rochas peculiares. Fiquei desapontada pela falta do material.

The stones r so small can hardly be seen after a tumble.
