Description
Adventure abounds in this clever gem kit. History, geography, and culture are all explored while digging into eight amazing gems. Beginning with an overview of the world around us, the fifteen-page guidebook launches into dig site preparation, before introducing the gems to be discovered: red jasper, obsidian, desert rose, green aventurine, pyrite, tiger's eye, rose quartz, and amethyst. Uniquely, gems are excavated from continent shaped “rock" blocks! Kit also provides a rock hammer, and magnifying glass with brush. A passport page provides space for children to record gemstones found, country location and interesting facts. At the end, children build a world culture box to display their prized gems! Well-made and educational, this quality kit will delight the rockhound (or history buff) in your family! Promotes an evolutionary perspective.
