Best Rock Collection. Includes Huge Megalodon Shark Tooth, 2 Large Geodes and 3 LBS. (About 100 specimens) and Identification Chart.

I've literally never left a review on Amazon before, but I was so impressed by the value from this set that I wanted to share. My Megalodon shark tooth was nearly complete! I would have been happy to pay close to the value of the set just for it, from the prices I have seen in some shops. Obviously, they come in all shapes and sizes, but I am really happy with the one that I got.The rest of the pieces were even cooler than advertised. I enjoyed sorting and identifying the different minerals, the geodes were really nice and was fun and easy to crack, the quartz “diamond” was neat, and some of the rough minerals are already showing promise in my rock tumbler! :-) There was also an arrowhead (super cool!) and an ammonite (even cooler!). Lots of neat bonus items included.

There were way more than 100 minerals and gems in our box. I counted over 130, not including the larger and more unique specimens. As you can see in the photo, we began by sorting everything by size and color. Getting everything organized helped us to identify many, but not all, of the specimens on their website. The fossil ammonite was beautiful. We were compelled to google to learn more about ammonites. The Herkimer Diamond is rather small but interesting. The Activity Guide explains what makes this unusual piece of quartz desirable.My favorites in the box were the Megalodon tooth fragment and the geodes. Overall, I was amazed at the number of gems, minerals and even fossils that we got for the price! Thank you!

Wounderful fun kit to go threw with the kids we all loved it. I was verry pleased with how many diffrent stones there were and nice pieces my tooth and ammonite came broke but aside from that it was a amazing buy for the price and upon emailing the ammonite and tooth were replaced the reply was same day and within two days i had the replacement this is by far the best customer service iv seen in a while id recomend this kit to anyone just starting out collecting stones and its great for the kiddos ill deffinitly be ordering all mine one. In the near future

There are plenty of different rocks and good color. So good to have 2 geodes! I wish there had been 2 Megalodon shark teeth since I am dividing the kit between two 6 year- olds.Thanks for putting this together. Now I need to find good real amber with an insect encased.Judy

This is a good starter kit for learners. Typical specimens like Pyrite, Geodes, Shark teeth, even Magalodon Tooth, and good speceimen of Ammonite, etc are included here. Quite interesting to read online about these. Only thing is that the Ammonite specimen came broken into two when the parcel was opened. I wish I had a whole Ammonite in tact. Otherwise this is a good kit. I will always recomment to others.This kit is really a treat to amateur Geologist.Further more that on writing to them about the broken ammonite, they immediately informed me that they are ready to happily forward a whole ammonite. Wonderful salesmanship. I am delighted now.

This kit was ok, but nothing like the pictures. Most of the rocks are dull, chipped, or broken. There is probably about 10 that look really good. The geodes that came with it were pathetic, i was able to break one in half with my hands and it crumble like sand. But you get what you pay for I suppose.

We purchased the collection of minerals for my daughter's birthday. My wife placed the minerals into a plaster/sand mix that the kids then "mined" from the plaster. It was a huge success!! We printed off a sheet so the kids to figure out what minerals they got and the minerals were part of their party favor bags they took home.The minerals were of high quality and the variety was very impressive. I'd recommend it for anyone.

I have purchased different stone kits, incluiding Dancing Bear's and this one falls short. About 2/3 of the polished stones were some white, dull, stones, and the rought pieces i was hoping for were mostly green aventurine but they are all white due to superficial cracks so even they dont have that pretty look of rough stones. The only specimen i actually liked was the herkimer diamond. I didnt even receied the fosil tooth.
