My children absolutely loved it

Thanks , I did a curbside pick up . I only got that at curbside , then they sent one thing to an address. So I’m am missing like five packages , I wanted at curbside

I bought this for my daughter, it was very small and told you to soak it in water. it was incredibly muddy and messy. BUT! We only got 8 stones and 2 of them weren't even on the identification chart. I'm guessing that one is Angelite and the other is Agate, but I can't be sure. I know they aren't any of the ones shown in the paper.

My kid had fun breaking it apart to discover the stones. However, it was much smaller that we anticipated. We wanted to dig together at the same time since we already have similar tools, but the item is maybe an inch bigger than my bar soap dish. So, we couldn't both work on it without hammering each other's hands had we tried (unless we cut it in half). I should've read the description to ensure size. I won't purchase again because I do think for the price it isn't worth it to do to again. The stones are about the size of a dime and a bit challenging to wrap the keychain material around since they're soooo tiny. It occupied about 10 minutes of time. It was fun for a one time Fall Break activity though!

It was very hard to get to the gems and vary missy. The sand was very fine hard to clean up.

My grandchildren enjoy doing the digs so I have purchased quite a few of them from different vendors over time. I must say we were very disappointed with this gemstone dig. The whole item was small (the block), but the gemstones themselves were very small and unimpressive. They almost looked like pieces of glass someone cut and polished a little bit. They were literally half the size you'd expect and with very little color. In addition to that, the kit didn't contain the number of promised gemstones, so they dug and dug thinking they would find more and ended up terribly disappointed with a bunch of dust only to realize there were no more gemstones. The promise was to make key chains out of the stones if that was your desire, but there's no way you're going to make anything impressive from these stones. And to top it off, these kits were pretty pricey. If I had it to do over again, I wouldn't buy these kits.
