Description
This crystal advent calendar gives kids a natural stone or mineral specimen behind each of its 24 doors, so by Christmas Eve they have a small rock and gem collection to sort, identify and display. It comes in five box designs (Sets A to E), with a mix of polished tumbled stones and rough specimens depending on the set.
Kids who pick up interesting rocks at the beach or in the backyard love a gemstone advent calendar. Each door is a small discovery, and the stones keep long after the chocolate calendars are gone. Please compare the photos before choosing a set. One design is a purple box labelled as a gemstone and crystal growing kit and marked for ages 8+. Others come in navy or magenta Christmas boxes, and some have a gem identification card printed inside the lid.

What Comes in a Crystal Advent Calendar?
Depending on the set, the photos show polished tumbled stones in colours such as purple, black, green, pink and orange, rough mineral pieces, and in the purple box, grown crystal clusters. Stones are natural, so colour, shape and size vary from piece to piece.
Are the Stones Safe for Kids?
The stones are small and are not suitable for children under 3. They are not edible, so supervise younger children. If your set includes crystal growing materials, follow the instructions on the box and supervise children while they use them.
Buyers are typically parents and grandparents looking for an educational, non-chocolate advent calendar for a young rock collector.
