Five Star Gift Ideas

That's great to hear! Here are a few geology-inspired gift ideas for your grandma:

1. Rock and Mineral Collection: You can purchase a rock and mineral collection set for your grandma. They usually contain a range of different specimens, from Quartz to Calcite, that she can display in her own personal rock garden.

2. Mineral Identification Kit: You can purchase a kit that teaches her how to identify different minerals in the field. This can include chipping away at rocks, testing it with acid, or using a UV light.

3. Geologic Timescale Clock: You can give her a clock that features a geologic timescale instead of numbers. This way, she can tell time while also learning about the different eras of our planet's history.

4. Geode Bookends: If your grandma loves reading, consider getting her some bookends made from geodes. Geodes are naturally hollow rocks that contain crystals inside.

5. Geology-related Books: There are plenty of great books available on geology, from picture books to in-depth scientific texts. You could get her a coffee table book with photos of stunning geological features or a more technical book if she's interested in learning more in-depth.

Or you can get her a star map with an important date you share.
