Crystal Clear Geological Bargain
From Brazil, rescued from the guts of quartz crystal antennae, these clear rock crystals are pebble sized (some maybe 3/8" long, most smaller). We're thinking classrooms and microscopes, small jewelry items, or, at these prices, a nice little bowl of crystals for the table. Each small box contains approx 2-1/4 oz of crystals. We'll send you (2) boxes, which will about fill a test tube if combined.

Bead Weaving!
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.
Sixty years ago, Aunt Mary used a loom just like this one to weave a case to hold her pack of cigarettes. Now it's a different age and Aunt Mary, bless her soul, would be weaving friendship bracelets, ponytail holders, and change purses with her favorite bead patterns. The shaped-steel frame of the loom is a bit under 12" x 2-5/8" wide x 3" high, and it comes with needles, thread and instructions, and a bag each of white and colored seed beads. Think ahead and buy extra bags of beads in assorted colors. For everyone from school-age kids up to Aunt Mary.

Volcanic Popcorn Specimen
Volcanologists call these popcorn hyalite bombs because they're globs of molten lava that were spit out of vents on a volcanic cinder cone, flew through the air expanding (like popcorn), and came to rest as glass-rich pieces of hyalite. These are from Echo Mountain in the Medicine Lake Highlands of northern California, and yours will be approx 3-1/2" dia, give or take, since volcanoes won't spit to order.

It's Such A Relief To Paint
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.
Let them paint in 3-D with these little raised-plastic reliefs of a dinosaur (either a T-Rex, stegosaurus or triceratops, our choice) or an insect (either a butterfly, dragonfly or bee, our choice). All are 4-1/2" x 2-3/4" and you get (4) little paint pots in yellow, red, blue and black, a basic brush, and a cardboard easel for display. Artistic bonus: the reliefs have a velvet-ish texture, so the result resembles a velvet Elvis, if Elvis had been an insect or a dinosaur.
