We began to study rocks and minerals in our homeschool studies in 2003. Apparently, Jessy decided that she really liked this, and began her own collection. Maggie too, but well, Maggie collects hamsters, too, so she made a nice collection, but was ready to move on to weather studies! But not Jessy! She filled one box and then another. Soon, we were looking up links and going to rock shows and hunting around old quarries. She was bitten with the rock hound fever! We searched for good quality specimen kits but were sorely disappointed. Most were teeny little specimens, glued to a cheap cardboard with hardly any information and expensive! We began to purchase collections from old rock hounds that were done with their collections and then moved on to wholesale mineral purchases! Dragon Mountain Treasures was born.
Jessy began to assemble a great kit for kids to see and explore and experience the fun of rock collecting. Her kits have great specimens, individually bagged and identified. Easy to hold, big enough to examine with a magnifying glass up close to see crystaline structure. Easy to compare with other family specimens. A good, honest value.
So take a look and learn a
little bit about rocks
and minerals from a great kid.
