We see minerals every day, but we may not even know it! Think about all the different kinds of rocks there are in the world. Rocks come in many different shapes, sizes, and colors. Although they look different, all rocks have one thing in common---they are all made of minerals!! That’s why minerals are often considered to be the building blocks of rocks! Now your child can have their very own cool mineral collection, already set up, with a detailed learning guide that specifies what each mineral is and interesting facts about them! For example, did you know pyrite was polished by Native Americans long ago and used as mirrors? Or that selenite is such a soft mineral, you can scratch it with your fingernail?? Learn about these minerals and the rest in this great collection. Twelve different mineral specimens are featured, along with instructions on labeling each rock for easy reference, and a fantastic mineral identification chart! You can even learn about what are the common features of all minerals!! A WONDERFUL gift for any child that’s nuts about rocks, minerals, etc. and wants to know the science behind them! Or a cool resource to have displayed during the science lesson in class!!
