Gemstone Advent Calendars

Gemstone, Mineral, and Fossil Advent Calendars

As far as we know, these gemstone advent calendars were the first products of their kind in the world when they were originally created in 2017.

There are now numerous businesses offering crystal advent calendars, but I would happily put one of these up against them any day!

Our calendars are now sold in premade packaging, which is unfortunately not reusable. Designs on these do vary.

The reason behind this is time - unfortunately, it took so long to make these advent calendars in the past that I was making a net loss. The pre-made packaging helps to cut down on the time involved in packing them.

However, as I try my best to be environmentally conscious where possible, I am also offering refill packs for people who already have a reusable advent calendar. Refill packs are also ideal for our international customers, as the shape and fragility of the calendars makes shipping them abroad both expensive and risky!

We offer two variants:

• Our standard 25 day calendar, a cardboard box with 24 doors and then a separate gift bag with Christmas present. Packaging designs may vary.
• Our luxury 25 day calendar, a cardboard box with 24 doors and then a separate gift bag with Christmas present. Packaging designs may vary.

So what do you get?

Potentially pretty much anything we sell – although we do carefully pick pieces that aren’t toxic, sharp, or hazardous. You’re guaranteed to get a few tumblestones, fossils, some nice mineral specimens, a polished piece or two and possibly some jewellery – don’t worry, one size fits all.

Our luxury calendar contains nicer specimens, and typically more of them – and sometimes, rarer items such as meteorites.

When ordering this item, please check the date carefully - we recommend an express delivery service if there isn't long left until December!

There is a Christmas rush every year, and we don't want you to miss out.

Due to the nature of gemstones, mineral samples, tumblestones, etc - small children should be supervised if given this advent calendar and hands should be washed after handling mineral specimens. None of the stones included are toxic or poisonous unless ingested, but basic precautions never hurt.

Everything is labelled, and the items are picked to be safe and non toxic, although due to small items we can't recommend them for young children.
