National Geographic Break Open 10 Premium Geodes – Includes Goggles & 2 Display Stands - Great STEM Science Kit, Geology Gift for Kids, Break Your Own Geodes with Crystals

I bought this geode set for my 7-year-old, and it was a huge hit! From the moment the box was opened, my child was absolutely fascinated. The set came with a great variety of geodes, and cracking them open felt like a real treasure hunt. Each one was different.Highly recommend this for any kid who loves rocks, science, or just discovering cool things. It’s a fun, memorable experience they won’t forget!

This geode cracking kit was a fantastic hands-on activity for my kids—and honestly, I enjoyed it just as much! The kit came with several real geodes, safety goggles, and clear instructions. Cracking them open was safe and exciting, and each one revealed a unique and beautiful crystal formation inside.It's both educational and fun—perfect for sparking interest in geology and science. We learned about how geodes form and had some great conversations while exploring each one. Highly recommend for curious kids (and adults!) who love discovery and a bit of a surprise.

Geodes are small and easy to crack with a hammer. If your kid enjoys cracking geodes, or just like colorful rocks, these are great for the future geologist in your life.

I have had a huge love of rocks, gemstones, geodes, etc...my whole life. That love went to my Grandaughter.I bought the box of 10 geodes and before smashing I watched several videos explaining how to do it properly. The best suggestion is to use a sock! That way pieces don't fly everywhere. Also do this outside!The crystals inside were beautiful and such a big surprise to her with every one we opened. EXCEPT for 2!!!!! We had 2 rocks, (NOT GEODES) and she was pretty upset about that. Would I reccomend buying these???ABSOLUTELY!!!!!! 💯!!!

Adult supervision required.Even following the instructions the rocks are very hard to break.My daughter gave up after hitting the rock ten times.Several of the rocks don't want to crack at all no matter how hard they are hit.They are messy as well.If you can get them open with out smashing them into several pieces the geodes themselves are pretty.

To be honest, they were somewhat challenging to open, which makes sense considering that they are, of course, geodes. Once I finally opened them, they were all beautiful, and they were definitely worth the price.

The National Geographic Break Open 5 Jumbo Geodes was a fun and exciting activity, especially for kids who love science and exploration. Breaking them open was a blast, and the geodes that turned out well were really beautiful with fascinating crystal formations inside. However, not all of the geodes were impressive. A couple were mostly solid crystal structure with little to no inner cavity, which was disappointing considering the price and made all but one of them useless as display pieces. Despite that the images for this item displayed multiple colors of geode we received only plain white ones, I have no way of knowing if that is simply luck or what you should expect. Also, some were harder to break open than expected, the solid ones in particular gave our 10 year old extended periods of smacking them with a hammer to open. Overall, it's a fun, educational activity, but the results can be hit or miss. Great for curious kids, but don't expect all five geodes to be showstoppers. Out of all five, we got one good geode that we displayed.

This geode kit is a lot of fun, especially for kids!
