And 27% off isn't exactly small.

The National Geographic Rock Tumbler Kit is every tactile learner's fantasy. If you're not up to speed on what "rock tumbling" even is, here's a one-sentence explainer: Turning coarse stones into polished, glam gemstones through some vigorous shaking and polishing. This kit comes with 0.5 pounds of assorted stones from around the world, four stages of polishing rock tumbler grit, an actual rock tumbler with a one-pound barrel, and jewelry fastenings to instantly turn the gemstones into wearables that impress. An easy-to-follow, full-color learning guide will ensure you don't have to supervise the kids every step of the way while they take their first steps into the world of geology.

Tumbling rocks is addicting AF, so consider adding a second one of these kits to cart while you're at it.
