Five finds. One block. Your own little collection.
Chip away at the block to uncover five crystal and mineral specimens. Brush off the plaster, bring out the magnifier and see what you have found.
The tools, guide and collecting pouch are all in the box. You provide a covered work surface and a little room for the discoveries.
A dig, a closer look, and a place to keep the finds.
The specimens are hidden in the block. The pouch gives you a place to keep them together once the digging is done.
Spot a little color. Dig a little further.
Start at the surface and scrape away small amounts of plaster. When a specimen appears, work around it until you can lift it free.
Switch to the brush to clear the loose material and see more of the surface. There are five finds to uncover before the block is finished.
Five specimens. Eight types pictured in the guide.
Use the chart to compare names and appearances. Your kit contains five specimens; it does not contain all eight pictured types.
Compare each actual find with the pictures instead of expecting an exact match in size, shape or color.
Make room for the dig.
The instruction sheet takes you through setup, excavation and cleaning. Keep it nearby as you work.
Set up the dig.
Place the block on an easy-to-clean surface or a large sheet of paper. Read the instruction sheet before starting.
Work around each find.
Use the chisel to scrape away the plaster. Work carefully around an exposed specimen until you can free it.
Brush away the plaster.
Use the dusting brush or a cloth to remove what remains. Follow the supplied guide if further cleaning is needed.
Compare and collect.
Look closely with the magnifier, compare your finds with the guide, then keep the collection together in the pouch.
Look closer before you pack up.
Line up the five specimens. Which one has bands? Which looks glassy? Turn each one under the magnifier and compare what changes.
If a find does not look exactly like the picture, keep comparing. That is a good reason to take another look.
Take turns digging. Compare the finds together.
Sit beside your child and let the next discovery set the pace. One person can dig while the other checks the guide, then swap jobs.
There is one set of tools in the box. For a group that needs separate blocks and tools, the 12-block kit below gives each child a dig of their own.
The digging ends. The comparing does not.
Set the cleaned specimens side by side, then gather them in the included collecting pouch. Keep the instruction sheet with the kit so you can check the names again.
Read the package before the first dig.
Keep the small specimens and tools away from younger children. Cover the work surface to collect loose plaster during the dig.
Size, packing, and age details.
Use these details to check the set or plan a carton order.
More finds, separate blocks, or fossils.
Choose the format that fits what you want to dig next.

Before you open the block.
Check the contents, choose a work surface and leave a little time for cleanup.
Are all eight pictured minerals included?
Each kit contains five specimens. The identification image shows eight possible types; it is not a list of eight items supplied in every box.
What comes with the block?
You receive one hammer, one chisel, one dusting brush, one magnifier, one collecting pouch and one instruction sheet. The five specimens are hidden inside the block.
Do we grow the crystals?
No mixing or growing is involved. Dig the existing specimens out of the block, brush them clean and compare them.
Is this one activity for a group?
There is one block and one set of tools. You can take turns; choose a set of individual blocks if you want everyone to have a separate dig.
What age is it for?
The packaging and product information specify ages 6 and up. Small parts are a choking hazard. Not for children under 3 years.
Will there be cleanup?
Yes. Removing the plaster leaves loose material. Cover your work surface before digging and clear it after the activity.
