800Pcs+ (3lb) Gemstones and Crystals Set,30Kinds+ Bulk Rocks and Minerals Science Kit,Rocks Collections for Kids,Tumbled Chips Crystals,Crushed Stones

I bought this for another purpose, but what I found was that this is a perfect project for children to teach them about rocks and the difference between each you can have them go through and separate the different types of stones you receive. This is an awesome rainy day project for any 8 to 13 year-old. Great value on so many levels!

Beautiful assortment

Got these to hide in the dirt so that while my sons are digging they can find some treasures. It has been so fun!

Great box set

Catches your eye

So we've had a ball with these. I'm buying more, due tomorrow I think. Grandkids, 7 and 8, totally immersed themselves in these! No tv on!!! Interested, involved like I've never seen them. We are becoming rock hounds, the whole dang family!!!! These little gems unite things! I spread them all over my space, for a more natural decor, got rid of some old stuff to make room for them here and there. And I honestly feel like I'm living on the bright side. No downside so far but with kids around one must consider the "stepping on legos" effect. So far the kids have been better at picking up dropped ones than I have been, so there is that. I did step on one that I dropped but it did not hurt like a Lego does, not bad at all. Not even a bruise or soreness after, it was an obsidian. Might even buy another bag.....

There aren’t as many colorful crystals in the bag as shown in the photo. If you run your hands through the crystal, your hands will have an odd metallic smell. I’m going to try washing them. I’ll lose some that dissolve in water, but I need to get rid of the smell and remove dusty reside.Overall, they are fine for the cost. The photo should me more reflective of the crystals put into the bags. You’ll need to add your own colorful crystals to make it look like their photo.

The gemstones are of nice quality, but they are relatively small, averaging about 0.4 inches each. The set includes over 3 pounds of stones, though the price seems to be on the higher side. My toddler absolutely loved them! We played a treasure hunt game together, and to keep his excitement and interest in collecting, I didn’t mention that I had purchased them.
