NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC Gemstone Dig Kit – Dig Up 10 Real Gemstones and Crystals, Science Kit for Kids, Gem Digging Kit, Gift for Girls and Boys, Mining Kit, Rock Collection

The media could not be loaded. This was a surprisingly great activity. I have had bad experiences with dig activities in the past where sand or mud or charcoal dust gets all over the place. I laid out a big piece of poster board and put the item on top. With a little bit of water you can really easily dig these out and there was much less mess. My daughter is just under 7 years old and was able to do it all by herself. She loves the gemstones and put them in a little sack, which she took to school to show all her friends! She said all of them thought the gemstones were so cool! This is very giftable. It is not going to occupy your kid for a long period of time, but they will feel a sense of accomplishment upon pulling out each gemstone.

My grandson loves these. We really enjoy doing these. Nice little stones. Lots of fun!

Kids loved digging for gems

If your child would love to collect these gems this is a great gift. My kids went nuts digging into it and breaking out the gems so the fun was over pretty quick. Still neat though and they loved starting a little gem collection. I think it's great for 7-10 year olds. My 12 year old was mildly interested but not challenging at all for her

My kids loved this activity. It was fun for them to dig for treasure. One of my daughters took her time and meticulously carved out each rock. The other took a hammer and destroyed it in seconds. Both had fun and love the gems.

My 7 year old daughter loved this gift. One of her favorite Christmas gifts and kept her busy. She easily found all the stones and we weren’t missing any. I bought another one as a birthday gift for her friend.

Bought several for gifts. One was missing a gem stone; sad for the grandchild. Still fun and nice for the treasure box.

This is the best dig kit I've ever purchased! It was easy for my son to use, you can wet it to make it easier too. The stones were a great size and the price was definitely worth it. He learned about the different types of stones with the stone guide and was so excited to tell the family all about it. Great variety, great educational value. Was not damaged in shipping and the tools are durable!
