Nova Obsidian Excavation Lab

$ 24.99 USD
Type: STEM
  • EXCAVATE 13 REAL GEMS FROM REAL OBSIDIAN – Crack open a chunk of genuine volcanic glass to reveal 12 hand-selected gemstones - amethyst, rose quartz, tigers eye, jasper, and more. Plus a BONUS MINI-DIG with one extra gem for two separate excavation experiences.
  • INCLUDES DIG JOURNAL & GUIDEBOOK – Document each find like a real geologist. The included dig journal teaches gem identification, hardness scales, and mineral properties. The full-color guidebook explains how volcanic glass forms and where each gem comes from. STEM learning that lasts beyond the dig.
  • PERFECT FOR AGES 4+ – Most gem dig kits start at age 8 - this one is sized for younger kids without losing the science. Big enough chunks for small hands, easy-grip chisels, and an excavation brush. Older siblings stay engaged; younger kids actually finish the dig. Great birthday or holiday gift for curious kids.
  • COMPLETE GEOLOGY TOOLKIT – Two chisels, hammer, excavation brush, sponge, magnifying for inspection, dig journal, and guidebook. Plus the obsidian dig brick AND the bonus mini-dig. Everything needed - no extra trips to the store.
  • TRUSTED BY MINDWARE – From the brand educators have trusted for 30+ years for STEM kits. Sturdy materials, real gems (not plastic), and tools sized for kids. Excavation makes a mess - happy mess - so dig outside or on a covered surface.
  • Ages: 4+
