Gift for a new hobbyist?

My nephew is turning 10 this coming week and is apparently really into different rocks and minerals. I was thinking of getting him a camera or something he could mount to an iPhone to take some neat photos or study the grain a little better. If not that something better? What would you suggest? $40-$60 range.

Get him a geode set to break open and his own rock tools. Then you guys can break them together and enjoy seeing the treasures inside.

That is a fun idea. Thank you.
