If you are looking to introduce your children to starting collections, this is a great toy. Comes with a storage tray in reusable box if you don't want to invest immediately in collector boxes. Each rock is identified and has facts about it.

Very Disappointing. I bought for my grandson and unfortunately did not look at the dimensions or weight. The box and rocks are small. The rocks are about the size of a large marble. From looking at the picture, I thought it was bigger. The information inside the box is like instructions you would receive, not in a book form. Now I have to buy something to go with this since it looks very cheap. One of the pitfalls of buying online.

I bought all three for a class presentation and they worked wonderfully. Just the right size and quantity for my purposes.
