Small prompts. Shared discoveries.

Help curiosity keep growing.

You do not need to be a gem expert to begin. A few questions can turn their first specimen into something they keep exploring.

01

Look closely

Notice its colours, shape and surface. Turn it gently in the light. What catches your eye?

02

Ask a question

What is it called? How did it form? Choose one question to explore together, or ask our museum team.

03

Share the discovery

Let your child show someone three details they noticed. That is the beginning of a collection with a story.

Look closer

There is more to notice.

Our museum-branded illuminated 6× magnifier offers another way to explore the details of a specimen.

For curious families

A few questions before you begin.

How many specimens are in each discovery bag?

Each S$5, S$10 and S$20 discovery bag contains one specimen. The selection photographs show examples, rather than everything you receive in one bag.

Can we choose a particular specimen or colour?

The discovery bags are surprise selections. A particular type or colour is not guaranteed. If you are looking for something specific, ask our team for help.

What if our child already has a collection?

Specimen No. 1 celebrates the beginning of collecting. A new discovery can also become the next piece in an existing collection. Explore what interests your child and keep asking questions.
