The presentation at a glance

The weight is from supplier information, not an independently weighed delivery parcel. Protective packaging can add weight.

How the digging countdown works

1. Set the calendar and a tray on a stable work surface, with adult supervision for children.
2. Open the compartment for each day from 1 to 24 December.
3. Work gently on the excavation block with the small tools, following any instructions supplied with your box.
4. Keep tools and chips away from the eyes, avoid raising dust, and tidy the surface after the activity.

This format adds an excavation step. It differs from a loose-stone calendar in which the pieces are ready to lift directly out of the compartments.

Materials and variety

The supplier describes the contents as a crystal/stone assortment. Individual mineral names, natural or manufactured origin and treatment details have not been provided, so the pieces are not individually identified or verified as untreated natural minerals. Images show example assortments; colours, markings, sizes and the mix can vary.

Packaging and gifting

The red illustrated retail box is included for a festive daily digging activity. A separate Foviel gift bag, identification booklet and laboratory certificate are not listed as included.

After the excavation: care and handling

After the pieces are uncovered, remove dust gently with a soft, dry cloth. Keep the mixed pieces dry and away from strong heat, prolonged direct sunlight and cleaning chemicals. Avoid soaking, salt baths, steam and ultrasonic cleaning. Store pieces so they do not scratch or knock against one another.

Contains small parts. Keep away from children under 3 and pets, and supervise children when opening the box. Do not put the pieces in the mouth or in drinking water.
