So, I just got my hands on the National Geographic Ultimate Rock, Mineral, and Fossil Activity Kit, and honestly, I’m a bit on the fence about it. It wasn’t exactly cheap, and I’m really hoping it lives up to the hype. Join me as I dig into this box and find out if it’s worth the investment!
In this video, I'll explore every item in the kit. We'll check out some shiny minerals and ancient fossils together. I'm curious to see if they’re as cool as they sound or if I might end up a bit disappointed.
If you're curious like me and want to see whether this kit is a hit or a miss, make sure to watch through. Don't forget to give this video a thumbs up if you find it helpful or entertaining, and drop a comment below with your thoughts-do you think it was worth it? Also, if you haven’t yet, hit that subscribe button to stay updated on all our future discoveries (or misadventures!).
Check out the link below if you're thinking of grabbing this kit for yourself, or just want to learn more about what’s included before you take the plunge.

The gold sparkly rocks are called goldstones, but they're not actually stone. It's actually glass in which copper has been allowed to crystalize in as it cools.

Gems are not glass or every gem stone in the world is man-made/fake. They are compromised of a collection of pure minerals, either silica-based or alumino-silicates (they include beryllium e.i beryl's). Please do not tell people that a gem is glass if it isn't, that is illegal (misrepresentation of goods and products) Edit: carbon inclusions are expected in some varieties of gems)

When it has those "hairs" going through the rock it's called tourmulated, because those threads are made of tiny spires of Tourmaline. That's what I think the clear ones with the black in them might be too, but with Black Tourmaline.

I got this box a couple years ago and it was much better. Many more shark teeth and actual crystals and more polished and better quality items. Although mine had a resin shark tooth in it so check yours. I also recommend you check everything with UV light. Some of it is probably reactive and some of the fossils might even be phosphorescent. Also the green rocks you thought were fluorite are probably just a green calcite.

This kit is intended for kiddos, so it’s hard to be mad at it. My grandson would love this, he’s three. It gives kids an intro into rock and mineral collecting, but does it in a way that is cost friendly, because let’s face it, kids are kids, they lose and break things. I can see why adults in the field have issues with it, but if it keeps kiddos interested in the field, they will grow up to be the next generation of rock hounds.

I don't think many if any of the stones you identified as Sodalite are actually Sodalite but I don't have an alternate suggestion to offer. Some of it may well be Sodalite but I'd argue there were other blue rocks that most certainly are not. I live within an hour of the Princess Sodalite Mine (Bancroft, ON). Plus among your "favourites", there is very sparkly, golden stone (looks like metal filings in it). Again, I can't think of the name of that material but it is actually NOT a natural stone. Pretty decent selection of minerals that come in that kit. It's pretty impressive. Excellent Starter Kit for up-and-coming Rock Hounds and future Geologists. :)

If no one ever said it, obsidian comes in a variaty of colors, black and brown being the most common but there's also snowflake obsidian, fire orange obsidian, and my favorite green obsidian which literally looks like intense green glass. An easy way to tell flourite and flourine is to hit them with UV light, they should flouresce really brightly. I think that one piece of "pyrite" is actually galena aka lead ore.. the weight would tell you. Pyrites tend to have more cubic shapes where galena just has a bunch of little flashes to the surface... it also tends to be more yellow. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otodus

I got one in the ‘90s that was wrong. They got a lot of criticism and promised to do better. Maybe it was at The Discovery Channel store.

A question, but could one do a DNA test on the poop fossil? Or is like with shells and all, that minerals replace what once was bones and body? I just wish we could find out what creature layed that poop.
