This fantastic rock science collection kit is a great starting point for the rock enthusiast or collector. The kit contains 15 genuine rocks in a display tray along with a mini magnifier to examine the specimens more closely. An informative sheet is also supplied to identify the rocks.

Ideal set of rock samples
Ignore the negative reviews.....if you want to touch and look at a good range of rocks this is a wonderful little set. The samples are good specimens of each rock, and plenty big enough to see and feel each rocks characteristics. They form a good introduction There is also a little leaflet with information on the rocks, and how to examine them. The box is strong cardboard for long term storage of the set. Ignored the magnifier.....but it does magnify if you have nothing better.Regarding size, my photos show the box is a 18cm x 12cm. I regard this as ideal for an individual or family to use. Lots of experience in a small package.......if you think bigger is better this set isn’t for you. If you want to understand and experience rocks, and even carry them around in your rucksack....IDEAL!

Science: Rocks unit necessity
Picked this up to help me teach the Rocks unit in Science. It is so great because it includes igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks. It also has a tiny magnifying glass and an information sheet that helped my students to discuss the rocks' properties. Would definitely recommend!

Brilliant starter set to introduce different types of rock to children
I bought this box to introduce different rock types for my kiddo. This set gives a good hands on experience to explaining metamorphic/igneous/sedimentary rocks. A leaflet is included and lists the rocks that are contained in the box(rocks are numbered with a sticker to help identify). It also gives a brief description on them and how they’re formed. Excellent educational resource.

Useless Magnifier
This is exactly what I was after! The samples are a touch smaller than I would like but they are not so small that I can't examine them properly. Ignore the magnifier that comes with it, it is less than useless and the one in my kit had a ruddy great scratch across the middle, I already have a 15x loupe with built in light so it's not a problem for me, but a heads up to anyone ordering this please be aware of that. Overall, really happy with these rock samples!

Good Set, Good Purchase
This was a good introduction for our 7 year old son. The rock samples are good quality, well packaged and presented. As others mentioned, we received a set that was incorrectly labelled, one piece was missing and one piece was duplicated. However, customer service was excellent. Easy to contact and helpful, we received a replacement very quickly, the replacement is fine. This was the ideal set for our son, glad we got this one.
