Mini Rose Rock Dig Kit: Oklahoma Barite Rose Mineral Discovery
$49.95
The Rose Rock Dig Kit is designed to replicate 'Rose Rock hunting' here in Oklahoma, providing an exciting and fun experience for anyone that loves the thrill of finding a cool rock or mineral! Despite nearly all of the public Rose Rock sites being picked clean, you can still experience the thrill of sifting through Oklahoma's iconic red dirt and finding a beautiful barite rose that has never been seen or held by anyone other than you!
Each Mini Rose Rock Dig kit includes:
• A 5.5"×3.5" Oklahoma-themed wood box accented with a leather silhouette of the state on the top, and a Rose Rock knob on the front. Inside, a photo sets the scene by giving you a view of the area where your red dirt came from!
• An eco-friendly cloth bag of unsorted red dirt “rough” from our family land - rich with potential mini barite roses, tiny clusters, and other rocks and minerals found in Oklahoma.
• A mini wooden rake for sifting through the dirt - to find Rose Rocks, or just for fun (similar to a Zen garden)!
• A small glass collection bottle to store and proudly display your treasures.
• And an instruction card with helpful tips and fun facts about Oklahoma's Rose Rocks.
Why You’ll Love It:
• Authentic Experience:
Sourced from our clean, chemical-free land, free of contaminants like lawn chemicals or runoff, ensuring a safe and genuine digging adventure. While the number and size of Rose Rocks vary, you can expect to find at least a dozen mini Rose Rocks and/or cool clusters - based on years of my experience collecting from the area this dirt was sourced from. Each kit is unique, no two digs are the same!
• Educational & Fun:
Ideal for kids, adults, rockhounds, and collectors, this kit combines hands-on fun with learning about Oklahoma’s geological heritage. The included info card provides insight into the science, history, and mystery of Rose Rocks, making it a great classroom or homeschool activity.

Care instructions
Barite Rose Rocks are moderately low on the Mohs scale (hardness level), and can be easily damaged if stored with other rocks (including other Rose Rocks). Store your roses individually with padding or bubble wrap to keep them safe.
And, to avoid fading, display them out of direct sunlight for extended periods of time.
Where do you get your Rose Rocks?
My Native American husband's family owns land in Oklahoma county, and the Garber Sandstone Formation (where rose rocks are formed) runs right through the area. Given full permission (and extremely thankful), I collect the roses from their land!
Gift wrapping and packaging
In a world that's accustomed to e-commerce and dealing with packages all the time, I still believe that a package should be exciting, special, and fun. Every order is beautifully packaged with care - a service that I offer for free. Nature provides most of my products, keeping my overhead costs low, and I don't believe in charging more than what's fair. Packaging can vary, but here's a typical example: Your item is placed in its own gift box/bag before it goes into the shipping box, nestled in crinkle paper and gift tissue. I place a small envelope that contains a Rose Rock info card and my business card on top, then the box is sealed and on its way to you! I'd be happy to add a special touch, like a gift tag or card, just let me know! :)
