Frequently asked questions

The kit includes 10 premium geodes, a pair of safety goggles, and display stands. It is designed to provide an educational and fun experience for children interested in geology and science.

The kit is recommended for kids aged 8 and above, due to the need for using a hammer or other tools to break open the geodes, as well as the presence of small parts and choking hazards.

Safety goggles should be worn to protect eyes. Place the geode inside a sock or cloth to prevent fragments from scattering and gently tap it with a hammer until it breaks open to reveal the crystals inside.

Kids can learn about geology, crystal formation, and earth science. They'll get hands-on experience with rock and mineral properties, and the excitement of discovery as they uncover the unique crystal formations within each geode.

The media could not be loaded. We recently purchased this geode kit to do with the family as a Christmas gift! and it exceeded all our expectations! The kit included everything needed for a fantastic rock-breaking adventure: 4 rocks to smash and/or chisel, clear instructions, protective glasses, and a magnifying glass to examine the treasures within. We were thrilled to discover 3 amazing geodes, each with beautiful, sparkling crystals inside. One of the 4 rocks turned out to be a solid piece of crystal, which, while smaller than the rest, was still a delightful surprise and not at all a deal breaker. We used the chisel method for two of them and had to use the towel and smash method for the hard to open ones. Our 8 y/o kid absolutely loved the experience! This kit provides an excellent hands-on learning opportunity, perfect for children and adults alike. Overall, a wonderful purchase that brought joy and excitement for family fun. Highly recommend for anyone interested in geology or just looking for a fun and educational activity. Will buy again for sure. ... show more

    • Great value and fun!
Style: 10 Geodes Kit
I bought this box to teach kids about how beauty comes from within. They had a blast wearing the safety goggles that it came with and then after looking at the crystals through the magnifying glass that it also came with. We had geodes of all different colors. A couple were on the smaller size, like a golf ball, but most of them were the size of a cutie orange or an avocado. The value was also amazing, I was at a store the next day and 1 geode was selling for over $9, so this box was well worth the value and it included the safety glasses, a learning pamphlet and the magnifying glass. I highly recommend this product! I will say we hit the geodes several times and very hard before they cracked open so another time I would try scoring the geode that is suggested. ... show more

    • Great geode set! But hard to open.

The media could not be loaded. We got this for our 5 year old son who loves rocks and crystals. This came with 4 closed rocks. The first one we tried we could not get open, tried a hammer with screwdriver and still couldn’t. I was hitting very hard and wouldn’t open. Two of them broke open very easily and looked so cool inside. Very shiny and tons of small crystals. The last one we were able to get open with a hammer but didn’t really look like much more than a rock. Overall I was impressed with the two geodes with tons of crystals and my son loved it! The last one we will have to order a chisel or something. Also, these are very messy, they leave dust and dirt everywhere so be aware of that! ... show more

They got here before Christmas and we're a last minute purchase. They exceded my expectations. Perfect for children or adults. I recommend an adult to supervise. It is quite possible for rock fragments to fly everywhere.

    • Great science teacher gift :)
Style: 10 Geodes Kit
I was looking for a great gift for the science teacher and knew the whole mug thing wasn’t going to hit the mark for someone who had been teaching for decades. I am sure her cabinets are full! - So I spent some time searching on Amazon to find an appropriate and special gift, but all I really knew about her was she had made science understandable and interesting for the teens in the small private school which was no small feat science my daughter hated science in the past. After perusing the offerings for about 30 minutes, I settled on the geodes kit from National Geographic. Here is what I thought it had going for it: 1. It was science related with a reputable name behind it. 2. It was a quick-and-easy-to-explain activity if she wanted to do it with older or younger kids or grandkids. 3. It was a hands on experience and a physical gift at the same time. 4. It was pretty. As a lady, I knew I liked pretty, sparkly rocks (usually in jewelry form though) - so I was hoping she would too. 5. It was in my price range. After giving the gift, we discovered the teacher had a special interest in rocks. So it was a good match. It is nice to feel like you purchased a gift that is well received and won’t be collecting dust. She has already made plans to open some of the geodes during a class this year. Thus far it is a raging success. During my research, I discovered that scoring an equator around circumference and using a hammer/chisel to open produced a better outcome than just using a hammer. The hammer alone seemed to produce smaller sections and some crumbled. I would also suggest using some type of holding mechanism, if possible, like a vice with foam padding around the geode. I noticed that many of the people in the videos were afraid to hold it in place while they were striking it to open. Once they are opened in class I will update the review with any feedback I get. Update: Everyone loved it and the teacher made a point of mentioning how much it meant to get a special and thoughtful gift. ... show more

    • Hard to crack!

3 medium and 7 tiny geodes came in the box. At $30 for the set its $3 per geode. Most were so solid that it broke our brand new pipe cutter. One of the bigger ones we tried the pipe cutter and a chisel with a hammer and still couldn't crack it open. Definitely need someone with muscle not really a kid friendly activity. The lighter hollow ones are very pretty and easier to crack. Unfortunately the majority of these were a solid mass. See photos ... show more

    • Awesome Gift for Kids
Style: 10 Geodes Kit
My son LOVES these. I have a geode, and he has wanted some for years. Now he has ten! Breaking them open is an understandably messy affair - definitely an outside thing! I found that each geode had different levels of toughness. Some took a fairly decent whack to break, others shattered almost to dust with a similar amount of effort. My only real complaint is that there was only one kind of geode inside as far as I could tell. More variety in the type of gemstone would be nice, but everything else about this was awesome. ... show more
