What cooler way to start a rock collection than to dig for treasure yourself?

Get out the digging tool and brush and excavate 10 real gemstones from a block of packed earth using the same tools and techniques as real gem-hunters, archaeologists, and palaeontologists. You'll find purple amethyst, pyrite (or fools gold), quartz crystals, striped tigers eye, and other semi-precious stones. An adventure guide details 10 games, puzzles, and challenges to help you learn unique details of your newly unearthed treasures. Winner of Creative Child magazines 2013 Kids Product of the Year.

Features:

• This interactive dig kit from National Geographic brings a whole new twist on discovering buried treasure!
• Use the included digging tool and brush to unearth a genuine gemstone hidden inside a plaster treasure chest—either a tiger’s eye, aragonite, or pyrite.
• You won’t know which one until you excavate it yourself!
• This hands-on STEM educational toy comes with a full-color National Geographic Learning Guide full of fun facts about gems and minerals.
