Gemstone Dig Kit with 10 Real Specimens, Excavation Tool, Brush, Magnifying Glass and Identification Guide – National Geographic

A gemstone dig kit lets young geologists excavate ten real specimens from a compact dig brick and begin a labeled rock collection. The ten-gem option contains chevron amethyst, a geode, pyrite, rose quartz, gray agate, green aventurine, green fluorite, snowflake obsidian, sodalite and tiger’s eye. Chipping and brushing each find creates a hands-on earth-science activity with a clear discovery at every stage.

An excavation tool and brush help expose the stones, while the included magnifying glass reveals color, texture and crystalline details up close. A full-color identification sheet names the gemstones and adds facts for comparing the finished collection. The listing also offers a separate fifty-gem brick variant, so confirm the selected quantity before purchase. The documented ten-gem kit is designed for children age eight and older.
