I ordered these as a surprise at the culmination of a homeschool geology group for 7-10 year olds. The idea of cracking open rocks, especially after we had investigated how geodes are formed, was very exciting to the kids, and I am happy to say that no one was disappointed! We broke the first one open inside a sock as recommended very dusty, and the geode broke into multiple pieces rarher than two neat halves. However, the appearance of crystals inside the pieces was quite a thrill to everyone, and then the kids all began guessing what the inside of their own rocks might look like. Using a chisel and a hammer to break them open gave a much more predictable result two or three sizable pieces with very lovely crystals and the classic geode pocket. The kids still speak fondly of geology. :)

I was a little worried to get these because one of the reviews said that most of the geodes were duds. Every one of my geodes had crystals in them. My 10 year old niece loved it. She was very excited after breaking the first one because the crystals were purple! Some seemed harder to crack than others especially the purple one, it had a hard outer shell. I would definitely buy this kit again.Best Deals for Large Size Break Open Geodes High Quality Kit 12 Whole Geodes
I take my six-year-old daughter to a natural history Museum where she is fascinated by the geology displays. We have a lot of fun identifying the various crystals and admiring items for sale in the gift shop ( shockingly overpriced). The last time we were there I purchased some "break your own geodes" figuring she would have fun discovering the crystals inside at home. The ones we bought from the museum were relatively small and not very impressive so I went online and googled the product and found them for sale on Amazon. Trusting this website I had no problem buying the larger geodes and they came within 48 hours. They were measurably better than the ones we got from the museum and my daughter had a lot of fun opening each one.As a word of advice.... If you have a wet saw ( used for cutting tiles) you can slice these geodes in half exactly like you would buy at the store. You get a professional finish and you can even spray them with a little protective coating to keep them shiny. If you're searching for this item you will not be disappointed by this seller or their products. Their shipping is extremely quick and the products are top notch. Have fun!
