Mine For Gems Science Kit

Utilizing tools just like the professionals use at real-life dig sites around the world, children will uncover ten real gemstones with the Mine for Gems earth science kit. Not only will kids be fully engaged in excavating each precious artifact out of the dig site, but their efforts will be rewarded with visually stunning and unique pieces of the Earth. Featuring crystals, quartz, tiger's eye, and many others, this gem digging kit for kids lets young treasure hunters hold geologic marvels in their own hands as they examine the distinct characteristics of each one. Wielding a digging tool and excavation brush, kids will gently brush away loose sand and pry each real gemstone out of the individualized dig zone.

While digging is usually a rather messy experience, even if done in the name of science, Mine for Gems includes a metal activity tray to keep the mess contained. As young paleontologists uncover each precious stone in this mining for gems science kit, they can refer to the full-color adventure guide to easily identify which unique stone they have uncovered. The full-color adventure guide provides a description of each sparkling specimen, which includes interesting historical information about each gem your child might excavate from his or her dig site. Kids could unearth a stone that was used by Roman soldiers for protection in battle or one that has also been found to exist on Mars. When children finish mining for gems, they can add each artifact to their rock collection or attempt to trick others with pyrite, which is notoriously known as fool?s gold.
