4M Quartz Mining Kit Review

Customer Ratings:

Bought this for my 4 year old son and was amazed at how much he liked it. He spend a good two hours banging, scraping, and polishing to get all the stones (and if you have a 4 year old boy you know 2 hours of focus is a miracle). The brushes are a little useless but still fun. We have given several to friends as gifts and heard great things from all of them. There are a lot of stones in each block!!! The identification chart that comes with it is great for learning about the more common minerals. I highly recommend this for a rainy day activity or something easy to take on a vacation. Only caveat is that it makes a lot of dust. Either do it outside or make sure to put down something to aid in cleanup (and you may want a bath afterwards).

Kept my 7 year old grandson busy for a few hours. Was concerned it might be too young for him.
