Choose your stone edition

These are three options for the same blue box design. Each selection supplies one box, rather than all three editions.

The presentation at a glance

The weight is a supplier-listed figure, not an independently weighed delivery parcel. Protective packaging can add weight.

How the countdown works

1. Raise the outer lid and place the box on a dry, stable surface.
2. Find and open the compartment numbered for each day from 1 to 24 December.
3. Take out the piece gently and compare its shape, colour and texture with earlier discoveries.

This is a direct-opening stone assortment. Excavation blocks and digging tools are not listed as included.

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. Photographs show example assortments; colours, markings, sizes and the mix can vary.

Packaging and gifting

The blue retail box and its printed lid panel form the presentation, ready for an adult collector's seasonal countdown. The reference pictures are an illustration, rather than a verified inventory or identification report for the supplied pieces. A separate gift bag, identification booklet and certificate are not listed as included.

Care and handling

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.

Questions before you choose

Are there 24 different mineral species?

The 24 numbers refer to the compartments. A fixed piece count, species list or number of distinct minerals is not specified, and repeats or substitutions can occur.

Does the lid identify every piece?

The printed panel shows reference examples. It does not establish the identity of each piece in a variable assortment.

Where is it dispatched from?

Dispatched from China. Delivery services and charges are shown at checkout; arrival before 1 December is not guaranteed. Check our shipping policy and returns policy before ordering.

General care background: GIA guidance on gemstone care.

Choose the texture you enjoy for a daily Christmas discovery: smoother tumbled stones, rough-style pieces or a mixture of both. Choose the original red Christmas box or a Santa Storybook edition. One selected calendar box is supplied.

What is included?

• One selected Christmas calendar box for a 24-day countdown.
• The stone assortment for your selected edition.
• The English Advent Calendar retail-box design shown.

Choose your stone edition

The original Tumbled Stones, Raw Stones and Raw & Tumbled Mix options use the red Christmas box. Options beginning Santa Storybook use the illustrated Santa box. Select one edition before adding it to your basket; the price shown is for the selected box.

New: Santa Storybook editions

A Santa illustration with colourful stones brings a different presentation to the same daily stone-discovery format. Choose Santa Storybook — Raw Stones for rough-style pieces, Santa Storybook — Tumbled Stones for smoother pieces, or Santa Storybook — Raw & Tumbled Mix for both textures.

The Santa box is labelled “24 Days Advent Calendar Countdown Gift Box”. The countdown format is supported by the supplier's packaging and listing, rather than a physical inspection. The supplier describes the material as natural rough stone, but individual species, treatments and manufactured inclusions are not itemised or independently verified. Specific colours, bracelet designs and 24 different mineral species are not guaranteed.

How to enjoy the countdown

1. Place the box on a dry, stable surface.
2. Open one compartment each day from 1 to 24 December.
3. Take out the contents gently and compare the textures, colours and shapes as your collection grows.

This stone edition does not list digging tools or excavation blocks as included.

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 illustrated retail box for the selected option is included for an adult collector's seasonal gift or daily-opening experience. A separate Foviel gift bag, English identification booklet and laboratory certificate are not listed as included.

Care and handling

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.

Questions before you choose

Does 24 days mean 24 different mineral species?

The countdown format does not establish 24 distinct minerals. An exact total of individual pieces, fixed species list and daily sequence are not itemised; repeats or substitutions can occur.

Does choosing an edition include several boxes?

The selector supplies one chosen edition. Choose Raw & Tumbled Mix for both appearance styles in one assortment; the three options are not three boxes included together.

Where is it dispatched from?

Dispatched from China. Delivery services and charges are shown at checkout; arrival before 1 December is not guaranteed. Check our shipping policy and returns policy before ordering.

General care background: GIA guidance on gemstone care.

Add a hands-on discovery to your Christmas countdown. Open a daily compartment, then gently explore an excavation block with the small digging accessories. Choose a red Christmas box or a green explorer design.

What is included?

• One 24-compartment digging calendar in your selected box style.
• Small excavation blocks with a variable stone assortment.
• Digging accessories for the excavation activity.

Choose your box style

Both options are digging calendars. Your selection supplies one box, rather than the red and green boxes together.

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 selected illustrated retail box is included. Choose the red design for a festive presentation or the green design for an exploration theme. 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.

Questions before you choose

Are the stones ready to take straight out?

This is an excavation-style assortment with small blocks and accessories. Allow time for the digging activity when opening each daily compartment.

Does 24 guarantee 24 different species?

The number describes the daily compartments. A fixed total of individual pieces, a particular stone for each date and a guaranteed number of distinct minerals are not itemised; repeats or substitutions can occur.

Where is it dispatched from?

Dispatched from China. Delivery services and charges are shown at checkout; arrival before 1 December is not guaranteed. Check our shipping policy and returns policy before ordering.
