State Rockhounding Kits

Make those family road trips fun and a real learning time.  Here are some exciting geology products to help keep your kids (and you too) occupied on those long and often boring road trips!  Each kit contains representative rock, fossil and mineral samples of each state, a road guide, and state geology and geography projects.  One of the most often-asked questions is, “Where do I find the rocks?”  I include guides and the descriptions of locations where I have found the delightful specimens in your kit.  This really makes rockhounding enjoyable.  Please note: I include a copy of the Roadside Geology of… in each kit.  These books are written from an evolutionary/old earth perspective, but they do tell you where the rocks are!  I consider these books to be an indispensable part of my rockhounding experience.    Each kit comes with its own sturdy plastic carrying case.  If you wish to purchase the kits without the plastic storage box, you may deduct $35 from the price listed.  This covers both the price of the box and the oversized shipping expense.
