Review: Just as good as the 'scientific' kits - I'm a college earth science professor and our supplier was one kit short for my online class. I decided to try this kit. It's about half the price and mostly the same minerals. For some reason not halite...oddly, and the one I got had rusted pyrite (I've never actually SEEN rusted pyrite before). But overall great quality. And for like half the price!
Review: Great kit for learning about rocks - I bought this kit and another one from a different company for our homeschool geology unit, and this one is by far the better kit. It has 15 different rocks, 5 each of the three types (igneous, sedimentary, metamorphic). Each rock is in its own compartment in the case and is very clearly labeled as to which type it is. There is a number tag on the rock, and there is a sheet that comes with it that identifies each rock by number. Each rock is a decent sized sample (roughly 1" diameter for each) and shows the unique characteristics so you can get a good idea of how to identify it. I am very happy with this purchase and would highly suggest it for homeschool or anyone interested in learning more about rocks and geology. The case is plastic and would probably be very flimsy, but it fits perfectly in the box which is a rather sturdy cardboard, so as long as you leave the case in its the box for storage or display, it shouldn't be a problem.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good experiment for our rock & mineral lesson
*by M***C on October 26, 2022*

I homeschool and coming up with science experiments/labs isn't always easy. My 5th and 7th graders are currently studying rocks and minerals, so I thought ordering a mineral science kit would give them a hands-on lesson. I paid less than $10 for the kit and it came with a nail, strike plate, and 15 minerals. The kit also contained a magnifying glass, which as you can see from the photo, is tiny and pretty much useless. There's nothing clear in the magnifying glass - it's just a plastic, blurry lens. The minerals are labeled and can be found with descriptions in the included pamphlet. The booklet that came with the kit is pretty useful as it discusses topics such as luster, mineral hardness, among other things one could benefit in knowing about minerals. I wouldn't say $10 is a bargain, but at the same time, it provided us with a hands-on learning experience. Just make sure you have or buy a magnifying glass so your child/children can examine the rocks up close.
