It had a nice large identification map on it that is reusable. That was about rhe only good thing about it. The rocks were so small the only use for them would be for a fish tank. I threw them in the gravel path. Get the National Geographic one instead.

I was pretty disappointed by how tiny some of the rocks are. Some of them are literally tiny shards of rocks. It has a decent variety although we had mounds of 2-3 types of rocks and just a few (or none) of the other types. Overall, not terrible but the specimens really should be bigger and there should be a more equal quantity of each type.

I bought these for a gift to my nephew and my niece for their birthdays! But alas I never got a feedback from them about the product. They are seven years old so maybe it was too old of a gift for them oh well I enjoyed giving it to them! Maybe too young maybe too young maybe too young

Product arrived very quickly and in great condition. Very expensive, wouldn't have bought without the coupon. Split this set between 3 granddaughters who love rocks and stones. Most stones were semi polished. The fossils and shark teeth, in small separate plastic container, weren't exceptionally good, but okay. Comes with 3 separate bags(pretty nice) containing different kinds of stones. Very cheap magnifying glass.

Meh. it was OK I enjoyed myself for about 20 minutes. I didn’t see any fossils in there though. And I wish they wouldn’t of put all the rocks together because when you handle them they have very sharp edges and a lot of the pieces have broken off into the bag. maybe use some gloves. I understand at the rocks and it’s going to happen but it’s exasperated by the fact that they’re all just in a plastic bag together. I wouldn’t recommend this if there’s other stuff that’s better.

I've never bought a rock/gemstone set before. My kids and I enjoyed this one. My only complaint is many were so teeny that it wasn't even worth sorting them, you could barely handle them, like large grains of sand - almost that bad. Might look good sprinkled over a shelf but don't be thinking they are all like 'specimens'. I think the kit could be improved if they changed it and gave you 40-50 of the larger sized ones, instead of 250 with many teeny ones. Overall it was fun. I'd probably buy another set in time, this one bigger gems. We did identify most. Some I couldn't tell. Some were not listed. Not so helpful. Had a few nice fossils, including 1/2 an ammonite shell and sharks teeth. Overall good fun.

Dissapointed that most of the rocks are tinier than the picture. They're very pretty, but very small. I was gonna use it for a Kinder lesson but they're so small they're gonna get lost right away.

Just based on the pictures I thought the rocks would be a bit bigger, but the kids still love it and enjoy hunting for their favorite ones.

It makes a great gift for kiddos that love collecting rocks. However 90% of the rocks are fractions of rocks or broken tiny pieces that are less than 1/8 of an inch. Pretty disappointing.

Advertised as 250 stones. But most stones are tiny. Not worth it!
