Product Details

Geodes were formed millions of years ago when prehistoric volcanoes erupted and gas bubbles became trapped in the lava. Gently hit one with a hammer and it will break open to reveal an incredible crystal cavern hidden within. This premium set includes a full-color guidebook, safety glasses and crystal geodes in a variety of types and colors ranging in size from 1.5"-2", plus pyrite geodes that look like plain old rocks from the outside but crack open to display a sparkling golden interior.

Age Recommendation: Ages 8 and up

Rated 5 out of 5 by Nana 54812 from Stunning Results Gave this to my 13yr old granddaughter at Christmas and she loved them. It was fun to watch all the different shapes, sizes and colors when broken. She was easily able to break all them open. I’d highly recommend these.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Betsy from Grandson delighted with geodes My Grandson was intrigued and delighted with the geode set I gave him for Christmas. We broke two of them open together and he was better at it than I was. He looked all the pieces over carefully and kept them all. He will open the rest with his Dad and they can enjoy them together.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Jas from Nice rock kit - hard for young children Beautiful geodes inside each rock. The rocks are very hard to break open evenly, even for adults.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Katie E. from Extremely Difficult I was really excited to give this gift to my son. However, after almost 2 weeks of pounding on them, they still won't crack open. We have tried multiple size hammers & chisels. Many have tried, including my husband, father, brother, & neighbor. Putting them away for now as we might have better luck doing this during the summer outside. Very frustrated & disappointed.

Rated 4 out of 5 by GMAKathy from Delighted a 9 year old Although previous reviews indicated some of the geodes were almost impossible to crack, my 9 year old granddaughter opened all herself. A few did require some effort. There was a good variety of geode types. They were a hit!

Rated 5 out of 5 by MNLS from An excellent gift! Our six year old grandson has been interested in the rocks that his grandmother has been collecting so we thought that he might enjoy the Geodes. He was thrilled with the gift. It turned out to be his favorite Christmas present. He is reading the enclosed pamphlet and is sharing the information with his younger brother. It seems strange to say that our grandson's favorite gift was a box of rocks but such was the case. An excellent educational choice.

Rated 3 out of 5 by whit2469 from Eh. Some of the geodes were hard to open and came out mostly as crumbs, even using the recommended chisel method. Not that great when opened, kinda mediocre.
