Dan&Darci Rock,Fossil&Mineral Collection&Activity Kit. Includes 250+Real Gemstones,Crystals Specimens&Jumbo Learning Mat-Bulk Rough Rocks,Polished Gem Stones,Genuine Fossils-Science Gift For Kids

Ho acquistato il Kit per la raccolta di roccia, fossili e minerali e devo dire che è davvero ben fornito. Contiene tutto il necessario per esplorare e imparare sulla geologia, con una buona selezione di strumenti e campioni. È perfetto per chi vuole avvicinarsi a questa affascinante attività, sia per adulti che per bambini. L’unico difetto che ho riscontrato è che tutte le istruzioni e le informazioni sono scritte in inglese. Questo può essere un po’ scomodo se non si è familiari con la lingua, ma a parte questo, il kit è di ottima qualità e offre tante possibilità educative. I campioni di minerali e fossili sono interessanti e ben curati, e gli strumenti sono utili per esplorare e raccogliere. In generale, un buon acquisto per gli appassionati di geologia, ma sarebbe perfetto se ci fossero testi in italiano.

Okay, confession time. I am almost forty-one years old, yet I ordered this kit for myself, not for a kid. I love rocks and crystals and minerals, not for healing, but just because they are fascinating and beautiful. I didn't have much before, so I decided to get what would sort of be a starter kit for myself. I was vacillating among this kit and a couple of others on Amazon. Here's what I got: 1. A set of tumbled stones of varying sizes, pictured in the oval dish with the red mechanical pencil for scale. 2. A set of most of the same stones in rough form, pictured in the rectangular dish. 3. A good-sized bag with a mix of smaller tumbled stones. They came all mixed together, but I have a penchant for sorting, so I have sorted all of mine out into little baggies. 4. A set of fossils, in the plastic box. 5. A "special" set of pumice, pyrite, and desert rose. 6. A big plastic identification mat (not pictured) *Note--there was not any plain gravel/limestone filler. All of the stones were good for keeping. The description uses the words "activity kit," but there aren't really activities included. I guess the activity part is blowing up the Internet like I did, trying to identify some of the stones that aren't on the mat. All of the larger ones were, but in the tumbled mix of smaller stones there were lots that weren't. I still have a couple pieces of "confusionite." I did run into one oddity: a few of the small stones had a round shape, almost like a marble cut in half. It's almost like they're tiny game pieces. Really I have only one disappointment: the desert rose. It is in the photo with the three stones. I was expecting a small but entire crystal structure, but it actually looks like there was a desert rose that was sawed into multiple pieces and I got one of the pieces. In fact, it has a couple of smooth flat sides where it was cut. You can't really get a sense of the structure and shape at all. Some of the other rough stones have flat sides, too, as though they were cut from larger chunks, but those aren't as bothersome as the desert rose. So it's a great set. If all of the sets are as good as the one I got, the purchaser should be well satisfied.

It is very nice. Literally because it has so much polished, and raw crystals with actual fossils.

It hasn't been opened yet, is a Christmas present. BUT it is a decent sized box and looks even better than it does online if that helps! Sorry folks.

O kit é lindo, mas não vieram as rochas peculiares. Fiquei desapontada pela falta do material.
