Toys and Games Reviews of Break Your Own Geodes
Customer Review: Not what it's cracked up to be!
Summary: 2 Stars
My 9-year old, science-minded, daughter received this kit for Christmas. She collects rocks and was looking forward to both the breaking/discovery aspect and having more rocks for her collection. We wrapped the very small (walnut sized is an apt discription) geode in a sock and smacked it with a hammer and then dumped out the pieces. The rock had pretty much shattered into very small fragments, none of which were particulary crystalline or interesting. We went through a few more (destroying the sock in the process) before my daughter completely lost interest. All rock fragments were tossed- none deemed good enough for the collection. Possibly the geodes would have been more interesting if they'd been cut by a rock saw (like the ones we got at the state fair).
