My only disappointment was that all of the geodes were white. It would have been nice to receive a variety of colors, but regardless, the quality of the crystals was top-notch. Overall, My kid had a fun and educational experience exploring the world of geology with this kit. I would definitely recommend it to anyone interested in geology or looking for a unique gift idea.
