Break Open Real Geodes

Description

Isn't it fun to break open geodes and find the beautiful crystals growing inside? But it is very disappointing when you break them open and find solid rock with very few crystals. Good News! The company that puts together these kits guarantees that you will find crystals in their geodes, collected from mines around the world.

The Starter Kit is a perfect way to introduce your children to the excitement of crystal discovery. Safety glasses, a full color guide, an activity booklet, a stand, and four geodes (containing two different crystal types) are included. Geodes range in size from 1.5 to 2".

The Explorer kit contains 7 genuine geodes of one type, safety glasses and a guide. Geodes range in size from 1.5 to 2 inches and has won multiple awards.The Ultimate kit includes 20 real geodes from 3 different mines and each of the 3 types has different crystal growth inside. These also range in size from 1.5 to 2 inches and include the safety glasses and guide.

I had an opportunity to break open geodes from these kits and I wasn't disappointed. These are some of the best break-your-own geode kits I've seen. So get out your hammer and get warmed up!
