Amazing 😍
Everything about this set, from the unique pieces that when put together form some unique shapes much like that of raw crystals. To the overall look of the build itself. Favorite creations set so far

Not as cool as it could have been
I received this as a gift for completing my graduate gemologist diploma; it was a really thoughtful gift and it looked pretty cool in pictures. I could accurately identify all the gems, so kudos for that. It's hard to explain but there's just something off about it. The fluorite looks like a fish and I cannot un-see a fish when I look at it. The Watermelon tourmaline looks like a pill container and is by far the worst looking one, the pyrite is way too lackluster (literally). If they couldn't accomplish the almost mirror shine of it then pick something else. The amethyst and rhodochrosite are the best ones. Having two quartz-based minerals is sort of lazy, they would have been better off keeping the emerald from the prototype. I don't have an issue with the look of the stands, but they are very repetitive to build. Overall, this is a really fun set for someone like me say they to have, but I feel like it could have been better executed.

Fun build. Wish they had kept the emerald
I really enjoyed this build. The amethyst, watermelon tourmaline and rhodochrosite are very beautiful. In the booklet write up about the creator it mentioned a "emerald" which made me curious as it isn't included in the build. It appears that the blue tourmaline was replaced with the watermelon tourmaline. I was ok with this change. It also appears that the fluorite was used to replace the emerald. To me this was a big disappointment

For the geode lover
Easy to put together. A 10 year old mastered this in a few hours. Looks great.

Minerals
This was a very nice set and I got it to do a comparison with the real minerals for a project.

Beautiful and Unusual
This is a lovely set, aimed at adults but also suitable for children 8+ who can handle the small pieces. The translucent colours display well and those pieces make it a great parts pack. The display cases work well together or separately and provide a useful range of brown plates and windows. I was glad to be building it fresh from the instruction books as it might be difficult to identify some of the colours if I were gathering the parts later. As three instruction books and seven bags, it could divide easily for a team of three people. I thought of building a second set as mirror-image models, though some are close to being symmetrical already. A possible use of the models or their derivatives in an exhibition layout would be in caves, maybe with LED lighting, as something for minifig characters to explore and mine. That could add an element of "play" to a set that is designed for displaying.
