How about getting him a rock tumbler?
This will allow him to polish and refine his own collection of rocks and minerals, giving him the satisfaction of creating something himself. You could also get him a book about rocks and minerals or a subscription to a rock collecting magazine. Another idea would be to take him on a guided rock collecting tour or visit a geology museum together.
Or you can get him a star map with the date when he was born.
