 Awesome learning experience January 12, 2007

My son and I had a blast opening the geodes and finding the crystals inside. You must use an old sock and a hammer to break them open (yes, the sock will have holes in it when you are done). When we opened the box I was surprised to see how little the stones were, but they really pack the crytals! All the rocks in our box had crystals.
It made learning fun as I explained to him how geodes are created. Kids that are into hands-on science stuff will just love these.
Not only are these worth the money for memory making, they make great keepsakes for the treasure box, too.

I got this for my father for his birthday, as he is a child at heart,and he loved them, all of the rocks contained something shiny and that was exactly what we were hoping for :)

I got 10 Thunder rocks. Like a geode but solid most/all the way through,. Recomend rinsing first perhaps an old (trash)toothbrush

I bought this for my 7 year old daughter who is really fascinated with rocks and geology right now. I gave her two of the geodes to examine while I put the rest in an old, heavy sock to break apart per the instructions. As is typical with most 7 year olds, she couldn't wait and broke her two geodes open on the sidewalk. We both had a laugh picking up the pieces scattered on the sidewalk. After we broke the remaining geodes apart, my daughter was delighted with the results and we spent a good time examining the open geodes. I would highly recommend this product.
WE were satisfied! July 9, 2010

I see a lot of complaints on this product, but my 6 year old son LOVED it. I felt that it was a good enough deal for the price we paid (around ten dollars) and I am a cheapskate! At least 5 of our rocks were "big" ones - bigger than a huge walnut... a couple were about the size of a shooter marble. All of our rocks had crystals inside, and my son saved all the fragments for his collection. I only let him do a couple at a time, and when we'd get home each evening, he'd be begging to break another one. I ordered 2 additional sets after we finished up our first one.
