10/10
My 9 year old son LOVED doing these. It was quite hard to crack the bigger ones but we got there. We did it in the concrete outside as it wasn’t working on the table inside. Massive fan and would buy again

Buy it! You wonât regret it. High quality geodes.
My 8 year old son had a amazon gift voucher and was looking for something to buy, he had been given the National Geographic rock dig kit for Christmas and loved it so when we saw the geode kit he was excited. We opted for the 4 pack as we felt it was better value (it was on offer at the time) it did not disappoint… he managed to break two of them himself and they are stunning, nicely hollow with beautiful formations inside. The other two may need a chisel to crack. They seem more solid. A fantastic learning tool and A great booklet included. The photo shows just 2 of them.

Wonderful gift for rock lovers (kids)
Bought this for my friendâs son who is a young rock lovers. He loves it! Yet, it actually very hard to break and require support from adult to open it. Buy it if you know his / her parents wonât mind to help the little explorer. Itâs a good experience. I think this box sets is in good portions. I know there is another box set that has more stones but charge just a little bit more. Very tempting, isnât it? But after reading the reviews, the version with more stones brings higher expectations. So when the little explorer finds all the stones are actually similar, they become disappointed. And the helpers get disappointed as well (according to my friend, it requires quite some efforts to open each stone). So 4pcs version is a good experience. 10 pcs will be too much.

Ok but could be better
9 year old son was really excited to break open the geodes, he loved the safety goggles! They were quite hard to crack open. The disappointment was that they were all the same colour inside and that colour was a plain whitey cream colour, I think he was hoping for some other colours. Also one of the geodes didnât have any crystal inside it was just solid.

it’s a shiny rock
In 2018, I bought the NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC Break Open 4 Geodes Science Kit for my brother, who had a fascination with shiny crystals. While he was initially thrilled by the promise of discovering the treasures hidden within the geodes, his excitement quickly faded after just a few minutes of exploration. Despite the geodes revealing shimmering crystals, which resembled amethyst to some extent, the kit failed to sustain his interest for long. Alongside the geodes, the kit included a small magnifying glass, safety goggles, and a basic learning guide.Overall, I’d rate the experience a modest 2 stars. While it may serve as a suitable introduction to geology for beginners, particularly those with a curiosity about geodes, its allure proved fleeting. For enthusiasts seeking more depth and engagement, this kit may fall short of expectations.

We got some good ones
From reviews could see seemed hit and miss if get geos but thought would take the risk and got the 4 pack. 2 larger sized 2 smaller. Only one was a ‘dud’, it was a small one it and had some crystals on outside thought maybe more inside but was not case and just knocked them off. no complaints though as was expecting maybe one decent from them all. Was a bit tough opening, learnt best way for us was placed in zip bag and bashed. Overall me and boy was very happy and impressed with what we got.

Doveva essere il regalo per un ragazzo di 12 anni… di 4 “geodi” solo uno è risultato tale (con piccoli cristalli di quarzo), gli altri sono 3 semplici sassi sporchi di terra…Grande delusione…
