Crack open a real rock and discover the crystals that have been waiting inside for millions of years.
The crystals inside vary from rock to rock — same kit, five completely different reveals. You won't know what you've got until the moment it cracks open.
These aren't plastic replicas. Each geode is a genuine rock that formed underground. Crack one open and you're holding a piece of the Earth that no one has ever seen before.
The crystals inside started growing long before there were dinosaurs. That context — cracking open something truly ancient — makes a simple activity feel extraordinary.
The full-colour learning guide explains how geodes form, how crystals grow, and how to identify what's inside. Science that comes with a thrill attached.

Put on the goggles, set the geode on a hard surface, and strike. The rock splits into two halves — and inside is a hollow cavity lined with crystals that have been growing there for thousands of years. Use the magnifying glass to examine the crystal shapes up close, then check the learning guide to figure out what mineral you're looking at. Each of the five geodes is a separate reveal — and because they're real geological specimens, no two are the same.

Five real rocks. Five genuine surprises. Crystals that have been waiting millions of years to be found.
