NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC Birthstone Dig Kit - Science Kit with 12 Genuine Birthstones, Includes a Real Diamond, Ruby, Sapphire, Pearl, & More, Gemstones and Crystals, Rock Collection (Amazon Exclusive)

Was used as a kids gift and was a hit.

Fun activity for kids. 9 year old enjoyed it and kept busy for about 30-40 mins. Best to do outside as it can get a bit messy with the digging. We kept a cup of water nearby to wash off the gems. Gems are very small but it was still cool to find them and compare with the booklet.

I got these for my niece because they were on her wish list. This is a fun activity to keep kids (or adults!) busy. It’s a great gift & easy to use - although it can become messy. I highly recommend it.

This was really cute for my daughter for Christmas. She really liked digging through everything and looking for the gemstones. It was pretty easy to do.We did end up having to put water in it and make it into more of a liquid to try and look for the last gemstone but we never found it. Even with the missing gemstone. My daughter still liked it and liked that there was a little bottle to put all the gems in once she found them.Make sure to pay attention to the directions. It says to not put down drains because it can clog them but we just wiped everything up with a paper towel.

I got this for my son for Christmas and he loves it! We’ve gotten similar types in the past but we like these better. I was surprised how many rocks are actually in the clay, it was way more than I expected! We had a blast breaking it apart and finding all different types of stones, seemingly more than are listed! Great indoor or outdoor fun!

Grandkids loved it. I purchased two for grandkids living at different location. One was completed outside and the other inside. You definately need plastic or newspaper (which is a thing of the past for young adults), along with a spare container with some water to put rocks in when they find the rocks. Paper towels are also needed. Of course it's a bit messy as expected but they loved finding them.

We had a lot of fun doing this kit with our kids. The gems and crystals are beautiful and make for a nice collection. It comes with a book to learn about each one, which is awesome. If you’re looking for a fun and educational activity to do with your kids, this is the way to go.

Purchased for grandchildren 6 and 8. Fun activity while searching for gems. Durable, great variety of stones, great color, easy to assemble. We worked outside so there was no noise issue while banging the form apart. Fun. Recommend.
