My 10-year-old daughter absolutely loved this kit, spending almost two hours non-stop excavating and discovering gems. She was amazed at how realistic the brick looked as well as discovering real gemstones she found! It would make an excellent present for any child who enjoys excavating, rock collecting or wants to learn about different minerals found within the earth’s crust.

This Mega Dig Kit includes everything needed to get digging: an eight-sided dig brick filled with gemstones, chisels, digging tools (one end is for excavation while the other end doubles as a brush), brushes and magnifying glasses – everything you need for starting.
Each brick in the Mega Gemstone Dig Kit boasts beautifully detailed crystals and gemstones designed to look real, including stunning tiger’s eyes, amethyst, quartz crystals as well as real gemstones such as hematite rose quartz aventurine pyrite snowflake crystal sodalite geodes and geode pieces.

National Geographic STEM toys also offers an incredible Shark Tooth Dig Kit that gives kids an opportunity to unearth real shark teeth fossils! My daughters thoroughly enjoyed this set, though finding fossils was occasionally challenging due to them blending in with the plaster of the dig brick – but spritzing water can soften up that plaster and ease excavation process!
