[ナショナルジオグラフィック]National Geographic Break Open 4 Geodes TOP QUALITY! NGGEO4 [並行輸入品]

Bought this for my friend’s son who is a young rock lovers. He loves it! Yet, it actually very hard to break and require support from adult to open it. Buy it if you know his / her parents won’t mind to help the little explorer. It’s a good experience. I think this box sets is in good portions. I know there is another box set that has more stones but charge just a little bit more. Very tempting, isn’t it? But after reading the reviews, the version with more stones brings higher expectations. So when the little explorer finds all the stones are actually similar, they become disappointed. And the helpers get disappointed as well (according to my friend, it requires quite some efforts to open each stone). So 4pcs version is a good experience. 10 pcs will be too much.

First off: AMAZING GEODES. I am so happy with these geodes, I have always wanted to open them since I was a little younger. Before buying I did read reviews and some of them stated some of the “geodes” were solid rocks. The ones I received were all geodes!!! There was a large one, and three small ones. The product did say they would all be large but the product is not always perfect as there isn’t a lot of geodes in the world. As you can see in the photos there is one that is a solid geode with no hollow center, this was the hardest to open and did rip the sock used to break it. In my opinion if you want a faster opening of the geodes use the sock method in the instructions rather than the chisel method. Use a metal hammer, a sock with the geode inside, and a hard floor outside (concrete) and start tapping with medium pressure and hard and it will most likely break open. In my opinion the value for money is very good. I myself adore crystals and geodes and I was fascinated that I could show light to each part of the geode after the inside of it being dark for more than a million years! If you or your child wants to open these up… I RECOMMEND. The National Geographic safety goggles do not fit my face at all, but if you aren’t using the sock method then do use them! The instructions are not super detailed BUT you can always find a tutorial online. Again, I am satisfied with my purchase and the quality and safety of the product. ;)

Yo no lo vi, pero me dijeron que es muy chulo. Regalo para 9 años.

Increíble kit

Super activité à faire avec un jeune enfant. Il s’amuse beaucoup à casse la géode. Vraiment très intéressant et accessible.
