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.

We recently got the National Geographic rock collection for my nephews, and they absolutely loved it! 🪨✨ The variety of rocks and gemstones is so cool, and it’s a great hands-on way for kids to learn while having fun. They were so excited that they spread the entire collection all over the floor to sort and examine every single piece. It kept them entertained for hours! The only downside? It took forever to pick everything up afterward 😅 But honestly, seeing how engaged and curious they were made the cleanup totally worth it. You do get a geode with it to open yourself, use newspapers or maybe crack it outside, itll get chips and dust everywhere. If you’ve got little explorers who love rocks, this is definitely a fun and educational gift!

Purchased as a Christmas gift for a “crystal” obsessed 6 year old and it was an absolute hit! Comes with 2 rock identification posters and a tiny plastic magnifying glass. Most of the 300 rocks are the tiniest of pebbles, however they are polished and pretty. My 6 year old loves combing thru them to see why she can find and the tiny size is what allows you to get so meany rock specimens. Various sizes of rocks arrived in separate bags. My favorite was the larger rough rocks. The tiny rocks have a potential for messiness but we avoid that by spreading them out on a cookie sheet to prevent spoilage on the floor. The geodes were tiny but fun to open, definitely needed the adult to open/ not posible for a younger kid. Overall definitely worth the price I paid for it.

I purchased these kids to donate to a kids center that actually has designed a little mining section for them. It’s a wonderful, huge sand area within a cave where the kids go in with headlamps, pails, sifters, and they get to look for treasures. This is exactly what the center needed to refill their stock.

This is a fun Little Rock gift. My kids have the best time looking at this collection and talking about what they like. Definitely great for kids that like collecting rocks. The rocks are tiny- so keep that in mind!

Bought it for a 69 year old kid to share with her grand. No screens. Just what you can find in nature.

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.
