She BEGGED me to get her this for Christmas. I thought it looked pretty cool, so I did. My mistake was not reading the reviews first. I agree with all the issues others have mentioned here, but I'll state them again. The first disappointment was the size of the mystery rock "matrix" (i.e., the clay that the rocks and gems are hidden in). It was maybe 7 inches in diameter and three inches thick, max. Second, upon opening the box, we discovered that there are only 9 (or maybe 10, the information on this was contradictory) specimens in the matrix, NOT 15 as pictured on the box. Third, I understand why they give you a plastic excavation tool to unearth the rocks, so as not to damage them (they are quite small, and some are also fragile) but geez, this thing mostly wore out before she even got the first specimen out of the matrix. We resorted to carefully using the pointy end of a metal can/bottle opener. Fourth disappointment - after excavating the tiny pieces of turquoise and malachite (we think - the "malachite" was actually just a tiny bead of some sort, same with the "emerald", which was not only a bead, but I'm fairly sure it may even be made of plastic), my daughter pretty much lost interest in this. We resorted to dissolving the rest of the clay in water to unearth the rest of the specimens and straining the water to make sure we weren't missing anything. Made a huge mess, but the dissolving was actually the most fun part about this whole thing. My daughter's comment, "when they say hours of fun on the box, they really mean hours of work, for not much payoff," pretty much sums up this product. And the most educational thing about this product is a lesson in the powers of false advertising. ### ⭐⭐⭐ 3.0 out of 5 stars Takes a lot of patience..... *by U***R on Reviewed in the United States on January 13, 2011* I gave this to my 7 year old. He was very excited at first and so was I. It turns out that you will have to scrape the surface of this rock very, very hard and patiently, just like the real thing I guess, and we never had enough patience to get to any rock before this rock was put away. Also it is a very dusty job and that makes me not want my son to keep on scraping because he is inhaling this dust, I guess you could wear a dust mask, and that can never be good. Also there is a label on the box warning that some rocks might contain lead.....so if you are also worried about that this is not a good toy. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars fun but a little expensive for what you get *by J***V on Reviewed in the United States on December 29, 2008* Our 7 year old daughter had a blast with this. It was something we worked on together. Very educational and probably something she will remember for the rest of her life. It takes patience but its fun. The only thing is, two of the stones or gems that are included in the 9 that you get are teeny tiny little beads. They should at least tell you that beforehand. I think its overpriced. But the experience was great. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.it/products/9277068-educational-insights-geosafari-mystery-rock](https://www.desertcart.it/products/9277068-educational-insights-geosafari-mystery-rock) --- *Product available on Desertcart Italy* *Store origin: IT* *Last updated: 2026-05-11*
