   My son absolutely loved this! He worked away at it for hours to find the stones. Every time he found one, he looked through the booklet to identify it. We added a little bit of water as recommended, and it made it a little bit easier. It is a little messy, so we put it on a tray on a plastic tablecloth. In addition to being fun and educational, it is also a great fine motor activity.

   My kids LOVED this. We put it in a pan for easy clean up and went outside. In the middle of doing this they got such a kick out of it, I ended up ordering two more. My youngest wasn't as interested but my 5-6 year olds got the biggest kick out of it. Once they get the first one going it's non-stop from there! This would be a great bday gift!

   My kids loved this. Especially my 6 year old son. He spent 2 days scraping and picking away to expose the crystals and was so excited each time he found a new one. We thought we were shorted 2, after we had broken the mass up into little chunks but I poked back through the rubble and found 2 more. They were small but still nice. We just ordered another set because he enjoyed this one so much. Anything that helps keep him off the electronics and engaged is a winner for me! Highly recommend! The stones I closed are all nice quality and sizes. We were able to identify them using the book that came with it, which gave nice descriptions and background I formation about the stones, including the place of origin.

   My daughter wanted this set for some time and finally ordered it with some of her holiday money. She had fun beating all the gems out of what was basically a giant piece of chalk. This is very, very messy. Do outside in a spot that you don't mind the mess or can easily wash the chalk pieces and dust away. There are no incredible or particularly interesting gem specimens in this set, but they are pretty rocks that kids seem to like.

   My 8-year-old stepdaughter nearly exploded with excitement during this project. She loved it so much. We did together with her 14-year-old cousin and they both absolutely loved it. The 8-year-old was less interested in identifying the gems and more interesting finding them.

   I have actually bought this multiple times now for my little one and she loves it each and every time. One thing I ensure that she does though is take her time to do it correctly by using the dig tools and not try to rush through it. (Think marshmallow test) She finds great enjoyment comparing the rocks she finds to the book that included as a guide. Also, when used correctly the pack tends to really promote patience and a little analytical skill along with it. It can last quite a few hours in one sitting or it can be used multiple times in short spurts. Enjoy!

   I got two of these for my 4 year old twins birthday. They absolutely loved digging for gems! We had an adult use the tool that came with the kit, and had the kids help with dusting and cleaning the gems off. It took almost 40 minutes for us to find the gems, dig them out, and clean them off. They love looking at the stones with the magnifying glass. I'd highly recommend this- it was fun to use and educational!

   Bought this for my 5yo for Christmas. She sat and chiseled away at this kit for over an hour. For an older child it might go much quicker, but she was happy and engaged the whole time. The dust/dirt from this kit gets everywhere, so be prepared to vacuum.Overall we were very happy with this kit and would definitely buy another like it again.

   Bought this for 6yr old grandson. He loved it. Enjoyed ‘treasure hunting' for each stone and trying to figure out which one it was. I also gave him a beginner rock tumbler to polish them. Tumbler is loud but he liked comparing the before/after look and texture. Great gift.

   Bought this as a Christmas gift for my 7 year old who loves rocks. It was a hit! She did make a big mess all over the counter and chairs so I suggest putting some newspaper down first but it was easy enough to clean up. The best part was that it kept her occupied and happy!
