Lots of red gravel and small pebbles

From other reviews I knew they were tiny but I didn't realize that 95% of them would be pebbles. I would not recommend this as an educational product as the pebbles make this activity nothing more than guesswork. It's best to buy large chunks from your local mineral store so you know what you're getting. Mine was also full of this red gravel that looks like it came straight out of my driveway it might be red jasper but there's so much of it. he and his pictures online don't look like it. Iโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Long delivery time

The best rock set!

This is the best climbing set we have ever seen! I love it even more than the Nat Geo Rock Kit. It comes with a display case, magnifying glasses and a durable vinyl shower poster that kids can use to compare stones. I have bought 4 of these so far, one for my daughter's birthday, one for my 13 year old nephew, one for my niece's birthday and one for my daughter for Christmas. Everything in the set appears to be genuine and you get a lot for what you pay: fossils, fangs, nice polished gems, rawโ€ฆ

Have fun!: Science sets and toys

Super fun set! magnifying glass. Reading other kit reviews people get "filler stones" aka pebbles but I didn't see them in this kit which was nice. Lots of bricks and have fun sorting! I'm not sure if we got carnelian or lemon jade like the mat suggests, but we got a few extra stones, faux turquoise (aka dyed howlite), peachy moonstone, and moss agate. Great that it comes with an extra pocket for kids to store their favorite things. Thus, all fossils and minerals were contained on the mat. Allโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Simple design
Cons
  • Doubtful purchase for seniors

Educational and fun for all ages!

This collection of rocks, minerals and fossils is very valuable. You will definitely get your money's worth! There are oversized mineral specimens (as well as a few tiny specimens), a cute little box containing assorted fossils, raw minerals, a large vinyl study mat with photos and descriptions of some of the minerals and fossils contained, and more. It's educational and fun for all ages! To help you identify rocks and minerals I would suggest looking at photos of some of the different rocksโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Easy maintenance

Good first set, too many small

Update 11/21/2011: I am correcting this rating from 3 to 2 stars. It was fun for 1 day/session. Now my kids don't even want most of them as most are about the size of gravel. Give away/throw away. I have never bought a gemstone/gemstone set before. My kids and I enjoyed it. My only complaint is that many of them were so small that they weren't even worth sorting, they were almost unmanageable, like large grains of sand - almost as bad. Might look good scattered on the shelf, but don't thinkโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Few competitors
