4.0 out of 5 starsGood Introduction to Gemstone for kids
Reviewed in Canada on March 21, 2020
The kids is great for the price, kids had a fun 30 minutes digging out the gems and cleaning it afterwards.
The dig also create minimal dust, which are great for parents, not alot of cleaning up after. We did it on a baking tray, I would suggest spraying little water to kill the dust also.

My only problem is the gems is on the surface of the dig (where the logo is), you quickly find all the rocks which makes the fun die out fast. Also the gems are smaller than expected.
Otherwise is good introduction for the price.

2.0 out of 5 starsOnly received 9 stones, not the 11 stated on the box
Reviewed in Canada on September 30, 2019
Only received 9 stones not the 11 stated on the box. One of the missing ones being amethyst that is listed on the box. I gave this to my daughter as part of her birthday gift, she was so excited to open it and dig them out. When we only got 9 she was so sad and in her own words "we were scammed!" She was excited to dig out the amethyst.. I feel sad for her

3.0 out of 5 stars Didn't occupy child for as long as expected
Reviewed in Canada on May 27, 2020
Style: Rock & Gem DigVerified Purchase
This kit was exciting to unbox, my child was pleased with the goggles and tools and was keen to get started! 11 gems were found (well, 13, because the amethyst was broken) but they were all located in one large clump in the centre of the block so it didnt take very long to unearth the collection. I was hoping it would keep my child occupied for longer, hence the lower rating, though it was enjoyable while it lasted! I tried to encourage them to keep digging into the block, just for fun, but that also didnt last long.

This was a gift for Christmas, but unlike alot of other reviews we found all 12 stones, and we did not find it as easy either, had to go smash some outside and it still didnt break! Ran it under water to get the last 2 out.

2.0 out of 5 stars I would reccomend for a much younger audience 4-6 year olds with supervision
Reviewed in Canada on May 30, 2020
Style: Rock & Gem DigVerified Purchase
The bar was soft and broke apart as soon as I opened the package, I have bought products from this company before and not been disappointed but the kids lasted a mere 15 minutes before they had all the rocks out and hardly needed the tools. It would have been nice if the encasement was just a bit more solid for them to actually extract.

Bought this for my grandson who is 8 and he loved this chipping away...could be better placed but all in all great value for the money. Just wish there were different ones to purchase instead of all the same stones.

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing
Reviewed in Canada on November 12, 2021
Style: Rock & Gem DigVerified Purchase
I found this to be super disappointing. We gave it to my 5yr old and he had found all the gems within 45 min. Which is fine...but the box makes it seem like the brick is MUCH BIGGER than it is...and the gems/rocks are so stinkin' tiny. My son had fun doing it...def good for a 5 year old. I don't know where they got the recommended age of "12+" from....a 12yr would would be BORED to death with this.... Just disappointing.

My 5 year old and 3 year old loved chiseling for rocks. They took turns and got really excited when they found a stone. Great family project that will keep children busy and interested. I recommend this product.

Reviewed in Canada on June 13, 2020

Kids got a big kick out of it. Something different
Makes a pretty big mess but that's part of the fun.
Will purchase similar kits, but honestly only if they are on sale

I always buy my teenaged boys a fun "toy" for nostalgia purposes. This was perfect! Was an hour of good family time, digging for gemstones. I'm glad I bought it for Christmas for them.
