Unearth the wonders of geology with the BBC Earth Reveal & Discover Gemstone Sifter! Using a 6" metal sifting tray and 2 lb. of sediment, young explorers can reveal nine real hidden gemstones, from rose quartz to amethyst, carnelian, and more. Just add water, shake the tray, and watch as the treasures emerge! Dive even deeper using the ID chart to identify your findings, then test your knowledge in a "Guess the Gemstone" game. With every discovery, kids will uncover the science behind the sparkle — learning how gemstones form, what they mean, and how they shape our world. When the treasure hunt ends, let curiosity lead you further by reusing the sediment, re-burying the gems, or taking your sifter to new terrain like the beach or your backyard — reduce, reuse, replay! Developed alongside scientists and researchers, this reusable science kit makes STEM learning hands-on, curiosity-driven, and seriously fun. Great for ages 6 and up.
