National Geographic Rock Collection Box for Kids 300 Piece Set with Real Fossils, Gemstones, and Crystals - Includes Absolute Expert: Rocks & Minerals Full-Color Book (Amazon Exclusive)

Great set for a kiddo who just loves rocks! My son sat with a magnifying glass for hours. Love that there is a book included for continued learning. The set is exactly as listed and shower in the description.

This is a great bundle! I am an adult and an avid rock collector and this was a great selection. The reason there are 300 pieces is there is a thick, full small bag of chips (picture in bag) and a good amount of smaller pebble stones (picture in selenite bowl). There is a small handful of tumbles and a small handful of fossils. I received a great variety! The chips and small pebbles were different stones than are advertised, but that can make it a fun challenge for people wanting to learn more. The book was also great with lots of fun information, it also has plenty of pictures so this set is great for kids, young adults, or adults!

The set came enclosed in another box which i appreciated since it was shipped with a flat of energy drinks. The box of rocks was also wrapped in shrink wrap to keep any loose pebbles inside which was great because one of the bags inside did open or wasnt sealed completely so there were tiny specks of rocks everywhere inside the box. The pictures made it seem like all the rocks would be at least big enough to examine but the majority in number are little bigger than a few grains of sand. The number "over 300" is certainly correct though if you count all the smaller bits. As for sizeable examples, I'd say you have around 30 plus 100 much smaller samples, then several hundred pieces to get lost in the broom. Its a fun set but wouldnt pay more than $20 if i did it again.

My son and I enjoy playing this game. We have learned a lot about different rocks and minerals and have already used that knowledge in everyday life. There is a bingo side and a tic tac toe side, a few different options on how to play. The only negative we have found is that sometimes we have a hard time finding the rock that matches the description. Some are not as obvious as others, but it’s only a few that we had trouble with. All in all a fun educational way to learn about different rocks. My son is 8 and stayed engaged with the game the whole time.

This is a cool learning resource, gift, or addition to collection. It includes so many different specimens. The kit is cool for any age and also includes an awesome guide. My kids loved the fossils as well. There are many topics that can be covered with these! The box is also reusable and easy for organization. Small bags are also included.The only con is the magnifier is tiny. But that isn’t a big deal. Everything else ROCKS! ;)

There are a lot of different rocks and minerals. The box is made well so it can be viewed again and again. The book is a perfect supplement to the materials in the kit.

Great price! Nice rock selection. My 8yo love it!

It's neat, but misleading. Some of the rocks are so tiny they're easily lost. The geodes were very difficult, we still haven't cracked them. The drawstring bag doesn't fit even half of the rocks
