This review is from : GeoCentral Box of Rocks Kit
Box of Rocks . Good, but not perfect. Some of the mineral specimens have been tumbled and polished, which makes them pretty, but removes the diagnostic criteria (cleavage, crystal shapes) that are a basis for identifying minerals. Quartz appears more than once in the collection. Partitions in the plastic box that the collection comes in are thin, and in both of the boxes I bought a heavy specimen had broken a partition in transit, damaging the more fragile specimen in the adjacent cubicle. The accompanying booklet is good, but it shows some minerals that are not in the collection. The small magnifying glass is a good touch.

GeoCentral Box of Rocks Kit Reviews
Box of rocks . My son has really enjoyed this product and I like that it comes with a pamphlet that describes the different kinds of rocks. The container that the rocks came in has a few cracks on the bottom, however it is still very much usable.

GeoCentral Box of Rocks Kit Opinions
great rocks for kids . Recieved order of box of rocks and container was broken in several spots. ordered a replacement ( with no problem) and the replacement container was also broken - kept it anyway - my son loves the rocks and was okay with a broken plastic box. It probably broke in transit - needs packing materials insdie box. overall great for kids who love rocks and not boxes !

Geo rocks . The rocks will be interesting to study for my 5 year old. However, the rocks came in a bag instead of the handy box. I would have liked to have the box to keep the rocks organized.
basic . It is exactly what is says it is...a box of rocks. My daughter loves them so its a great deal for the price. I only wish they would have a better labeling system for the rocks instead of searching through the book and trying to match them.
Awesome for a young boy . My son loves rocks. Santa brought him this for Christmas. He loves them. It comes with a small book used to identify the rocks and explains how they are created. The plastic magnifying glass included must have broke during shipping, but its not a big deal.
Rock Box . This is an awesome kit. I bought it for 2 of my grandchildren and they have spent hours with it. It is a perfect introduction to rocks and a great beginning for any child interested in things outside!
