What Do You Know about Rocks, Minerals, & Gems? Knowledge Cards

Product description

Pristine diamonds, radiant rubies, sapphires, and other gorgeous gems captivate us with their extraordinary beauty and brilliance. But beyond their aesthetic appeal, the world's gems, minerals, and rocks are essential to our very existence; they are the universe's building blocks. This quiz deck presents a well-rounded sampling of mineral lore in a Q&A format, with a question — often accompanied by a color photograph — on the front and the answer on the back of each of the 48 cards. Together, they offer a fascinating tour of the mineral kingdom, from the legendary Hope Diamond to corals and cultured pearls, dazzling crystalline caves, and the mysterious sarsens of Stonehenge.
