When is a rock not just a rock? When it is a mineral or crystal?
Our planet is made up of rocks and minerals, if you dig deep enough, you will always find them. Whether it is a rock or a mineral depends upon on its chemical makeup and this kit is great introduction to learning the difference.
Place the block on an easy to clean surface or on a large sheet of paper. Use the digging tool to gently scape away at the block until an object appears. Carefully dig away all the material from the object before removing from the block.
