Product Description

Explore the world of a geologist as you dig and reveal precious gemstones with the Discovery Gemstone Dig! Put on your safety goggles, then use real excavation tools to dig and unearth 11 precious gemstones! As the stones are revealed, carefully chisel around them, brush away the debris, and use the included magnifying glass to take a closer look at the patterns and colors within each gorgeous stone — what makes each one unique?! Then, like a real geologist, use the ceramic streak plate to determine the color of the minerals in powdered form. The Discovery Gemstone Dig isn’t just the perfect start to an amazing rock collection, it makes learning about geology, archeology, and gemology. So whether you're looking for a staycation activity, sleepover idea, or fun group activity, this STEM kit is a great choice. Not only does it encourage critical thinking, but it helps strengthen observation and fine motor skills. It's interactive and fun for scientists age 12 and up!

    Good product, poor execution
    First off, I didn't realize it was 12 yrs+, I don't know why because it didn't include really any material with it that was age specific. My son is 8 and loved the brick and chiseling out the gemstones. My sons first comment was "Oh, I thought it was bigger" But that mentality quickly faded as it took him about 7min of chiseling to find the first gemstone. It took him about 45min to get them all chiseled out and washed off and we actually got 12 gemstones! Awesome you'd think, but my son wanted to know more. He wanted to know what kinds of gemstones they were and a little information about them. Well, don't expect a geology lesson with this kit because it came with NOTHING. No chart to help identify the gemstones, no informational pamphlet, just an instruction guide telling you how to use a hammer and chisel just in case it had you scratching your head lol.Here's where it gets weak, the kit includes a ceramic streak plate, which is used to test the gemstones to help identify what they actually are. We couldn't get a single gemstone to make a streak on that streak plate, it started to rough up the stones nice polish so we stopped applying more pressure and called it quits. The included documentation on Amazon's site to identify the gemstones was less than valuable. 2 of them are labeled as "crystals" which are not types of minerals but a type of structure. 4 of our gems were unidentifiable by the same chart.All in all, not a bad product for $15 like some of these comments go on about just don't expect any kind of learning experience. I've messaged the company regarding the streak plate and the gemstones, if they respond I will update my review if it allows.**UPDATE** Horizon Group sent me another one that was manufactured 2 months later, won't be able to check out the product until summer. They didn't acknowledge the pictures of the stones that weren't listed or identifiable, nor the streak plate not working. I think they just sent me another product in an attempt to resolve the issue, not to correct the problem. Fingers crossed, it was a one time mistake. My son actually wants to learn.

    Huge mess; only seven stones (we chiseled through the whole block), no colours and no glowing like shown. Poor quality.
