EE24 Earth's Treasures, Minerals & Gems
$10.00
After the child has had experience in examining rocks in the two rock matching sets on this page, she is ready for a further step. Earth's Treasures is a bag of 16 large (1-2 inches) specimens of minerals, rocks and gems, each in its own bag with an information card.
The child can examine them with a magnifying glass or loupe magnifier and compare them to the illustrations in the Rocks and Minerals sticker book, or, in class, match them to cards that the teacher has made from the sticker book. At this point she will really appreciate finding rocks in nature and seeing them in a museum. The set often contain obsidian, pumice, quartz, sulfur, or pyrite.
