    OK activity-Needs bigger stones and the correct stones
    This was a Christmas present activity. We have done something like this before and the last time everything was covered in dust. The patio, the kids and myself. No need to think it's going to help your back yard grow. We through some pieces in our yard 6 months ago and they have never dissolved. This time I decided to keep it soaked in water in a large Tupperware bowl. It did keep down the mess, but it still took some time to clean up.I attached a picture of the stones we had in our kit. I can say the stone that is supposed to be sodalite is probably blue aventurine. The agate is one of the ugliest I've ever seen. I wish there was a little more size to the stones. You can use the quarter in the picture as a reference.All in all it's a fun activity to do with kids.

    Reviewed in the United States on December 25, 2023
    My son was absolutely thrilled to get a
    Dig kit with real gemstones. Honestly, I was pleasantly surprised by the size of them. We loved that they come with a little storage bottle too, though he dislikes how huge the cork is and I wish it wasn't plastic. My one big complaint is that all the stones were in one tiny area in the middle. He had 8 out when I took the picture with 2 more visible. He loved it regardless, but it didn't take him long to do.
