14k gold with a peridot trillion totaling 1.3 carats. Originally hand-carved by designer Lily Raven with a handset peridot. Peridot is one of only two gems (diamond being the other) that is formed deep in the Earth in molten rock and brought to the surface by earthquakes and volcanoes. Peridot in its basic form, Olivine, was also found in comet dust brought back from the Stardust robotic space probe in 2006. Associated with the sun, Peridot has been prized since the earliest civilizations for its protective powers to drive away negativity. Set in gold and worn around the neck or bound to the left arm, it was used as a charm against negative forces. Whether formed under extreme conditions here on Earth, or brought to us from neighboring galaxies, August’s birthstone is a testament to nature’s beauty. 5% of this necklace's proceeds serve to benefit charity.

Ready your courageous robots for a mission to the moon, Mars, or beyond! With this engineering kit, you can build a remote-controlled model of a robotic rover resembling the ones used to explore Mars. Deploy your Mars rover in the backyard or sandbox and use the remote control unit to survey the uncharted terrain. The remote can control up to three motors, which move the rover back and forth, turn the wheels to steer the rover, and control the robotic arm to pick up extraterrestrial specimens like small rocks. This 256-piece construction set includes instructions to build not only the robot rover, but nine additional space-themed models as well, including: a lunar rover, rocket launcher car, space shuttle with opening cargo bay doors, robotic space shuttle payload arm, space droid, walking bot, space probe, cross-wing starship, and spaceship controller. Kids will be inspired to learn various STEM skills through these fun, hands-on construction projects that bridge two captivating interest areas: robots and outer space. A full-color, 80-page step-by-step illustrated manual helps kids assemble all of the models and teaches them about real-world examples of the outer space robots, vehicles, and devices they are creating. Read about the various technical features of the Mars Curiosity rover. Learn about the history of Mars exploration, robotics in space probes, deep-space exploration, and the robots in popular space-related science fiction. This kit is perfect for every kid who is fascinated by the prospects of being an astronaut, colonizing the moon, or being the first human to land on Mars.
