NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC Mega Gemstone Dig Kit – Dig Up 15 Real Gemstones and Crystals, Science Kit for Kids, Gem Digging Kit, Gift for Girls and Boys, Mining Kit, Rock Collection

I ordered this kit in a rush and was expecting a bag of gemstones. Upon opening the package, nothing was there except a small brick like thing. Kind of disappointing. Things flipped as my daughter and I found out what we need to do. It was so fun digging out the gemstones one by one, cleaning them up, enjoying the beauty of Nature. Best gift ever from my daughter’s comments.

The National Geographic Mega Gemstone Dig Kit is amazing for any kid who loves hands-on activities. My child had a blast digging through the brick to uncover 15 real gemstones, including amethyst, quartz, tiger’s eye, and pyrite. The kit comes with everything needed—a chisel, brush, and magnifying glass—so they can really get into the “mining” experience. The 16-page full-color guide is awesome too, explaining how each gemstone forms and helping kids identify what they find. It’s fun, educational, and kept my little scientist entertained for hours. Highly recommend for a gift or a rainy-day project!

Kiddo loved this gift! Easy, great fun and enough gems to keep his attention and entertained for about a half hour, then excited to clean off his gems. Keep some water handy to sprinkle on it to soften it for younger kids.

My 7-year-old son loved this kit! It took him about two hours to finish, and he was completely enthralled the entire time. I did have to wet the clay a little to make it easier to dig through, and I definitely recommend having a container or tray ready because it gets pretty messy. Each time he uncovered a gem, we’d stop to look it up in the little guidebook that came with the kit, which made it even more fun and educational. I paid $19.99, but after seeing that the 50-stone kit is only $23.99, I feel like this one should be priced closer to $15.99. That’s really my only complaint and the reason for giving 4 stars instead of 5. Otherwise, it’s a fantastic hands-on activity for kids who love digging and discovering.

Great gift for kids

Bought as a gift for our new step-granddaughter. We had no clue as to what to buy for her & took a gamble on this. When she opened it, she literally squeezed with joy, shouting “How lucky am I!?” She was so pleased with it she immediately began harvesting her gems. This is ideal for anyone who studies and/or collects gems like this. It’s a great teaching tool.

This was sooo fun! I got it for my 9 year old son and i was just dying to dig the gemstones out on my own lol. A little messy but fun messy. Not so quick and very relaxing.

Great gift for young boy/girl interested in discovering gemstones and crystals.
