Discount GeoCentral Box of Rocks Kit

Customer Ratings:

Good, but not perfect. Some of the mineral specimens have been tumbled and polished, which makes them pretty, but removes the diagnostic criteria (cleavage, crystal shapes) that are a basis for identifying minerals. Quartz appears more than once in the collection. Partitions in the plastic box that the collection comes in are thin, and in both of the boxes I bought a heavy specimen had broken a partition in transit, damaging the more fragile specimen in the adjacent cubicle. The accompanying booklet is good, but it shows some minerals that are not in the collection. The small magnifying glass is a good touch.

My son has really enjoyed this product and I like that it comes with a pamphlet that describes the different kinds of rocks. The container that the rocks came in has a few cracks on the bottom, however it is still very much usable.

I was expecting the rocks to be labeled in the kit. They came with a book that you are supposed to use to identify them, but the book had a lot more rocks in it than were in the kit. I could not tell what half the rocks were, which totally defeated the purpose of the kit. I'm going to send it back.

This is an awesome kit. I bought it for 2 of my grandchildren and they have spent hours with it. It is a perfect introduction to rocks and a great beginning for any child interested in things outside!

The rocks will be interesting to study for my 5 year old. However, the rocks came in a bag instead of the handy box. I would have liked to have the box to keep the rocks organized.
