FAQs
Are these magnets safe for young children?
Yes, the magnets are fully integrated and sealed within the durable plastic casing, ensuring they remain safe during normal play.
Do these tiles work with other brands of magnetic tiles?
These tiles are generally compatible with standard-sized magnetic tile systems, though their diamond-textured finish is unique to this series.
What is the best way to clean the tiles?
A gentle wipe with a damp, lint-free cloth is all that is needed. Do not soak the tiles in water.
Are the colors permanent?
Yes, the colors are embedded within the high-quality translucent plastic and will not fade or rub off.
Can these be used on a light table?
Absolutely, the translucent nature of the Gems set makes them perfect for light table play, which highlights the colors and textures beautifully.
Troubleshooting
Tiles seem to repel each other when trying to connect.
Rotate the tile 180 degrees; the magnetic polarity is likely reversed for that specific edge.
The structure collapses when building tall towers.
Ensure you are using square base plates for stability and distributing the weight evenly by building wider at the base.

- Wide variety of shapes supports open-ended architectural creativity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the Geomag Gems is straightforward: simply dump the tiles on a flat surface to begin assembly. While they are compatible with most standard-sized magnetic tiles, the unique diamond texture is specific to the Gems series. To keep your set in peak condition, wipe them down with a soft, damp cloth if they become dusty or sticky. Avoid submerging the tiles in water or using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can compromise the strength of the internal magnets and cloud the translucent finish. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources to prevent warping.
