Explore the United States as you dig in to the first ever Stones of the States bucket! This bucket is filled with 50 rocks, gemstones and/or fossils that represent each of the 50 states!
Find a Freshwater Pearl for Kentucky, Turquoise for Arizona and even Copper for Utah!
Every bucket comes with a map that depicts each item we picked for every state so you can match your finds. The map also includes a sheet on the back with each state and their capital as well as the state rock, mineral, gemstone and fossil so you can learn as you go!
There are a few states that we had to substitute similar gems and fossils due to availability;
Idaho-Garnet instead of Star Garnet
Maryland-Yellow Aventurine instead of Patuxent River Stone
New Jersey-Willemite instead of Franklinite (Willemite was mined in the same mine in Franklin, NJ and is fluorescent)
Oklahoma-Selenite instead of Hourglass Selenite
Virginia-Indigo Gabbro instead of Nelsonite
