It was fun. My daughter likes digging out the rocks. We were just bummed because we made sure to break every little piece, but only had 9 gemstones instead of 10 which matters a lot to a kid.

Ours only had 9 stones instead of 10. It made a giant mess trying to search for the 10th

The rocks are good sized and my child enjoyed finding them. We did get 9 but not sure how closely it matches the stones that were supposed to be in the kit. Worth the money overall. See pictures

Kids liked this lit but....
My kids liked this dig kit but both kits only came with 9 tiny gemstones. The box showed 10 gemstones and they appear larger than they actually were. One gemstone was so jagged that it cut my finger so be careful.

Sadly we only got 8 stones and two were just fragments. Not worth the money!

Small poor quality
Half the gems are smaller than pea size, and many aren’t polished. None of them are the quality shown in the pictures

Purchased this for my 10 year old who loves crystals/ geodes. She enjoyed being able to dig them out and clean them up after. Definitely good to do outside as it is messy but totally worth it!

Missing gemstone
How do you not put the right amount of rocks in your toy? Makes no sense. Very disappointing.

great customer service
we were missing one of the 10 specimens, but the company agreed to send the pyrite separately. wish the kit had been complete from the get go to avoid frustration for my daughter, but good customer service from the manufacturer who handles national geographic gemstones! and also, target is great for standing behind us customers in case anything could not be resolved. overall my daughter had fun trying to figure out the best ways to extract the specimens. it did keep her busy without frustrating her. i've seen some gemstone kits where you have to basically laser out something from a hard rock--not even safe. this was way better suited for kids.

AMAZING
Really enjoyed this kit it was interesting and fun the gems are so pretty but I don’t think I got pyrite cause it was not yellow or shiny gold and I only got nine but that doesn’t really matter cause it was amazing
