Excavate 9 rocks and minerals from a ‘fossilised’ block of earth to create your own collection. Identify your specimens using the handy guide and discover whether they are igneous, sedimentary or metamorphic.

The kit contains pieces of blue azurite, obsidian, granite, sandstone, marble, scoria, pyrite (fool’s gold), limestone, cyanite, chalk, a hessian bag, a plastic rock collection case, a magnifier and full instructions. You’ll need some additional household objects and supplies to complete some of the activities. Ages 5+.
