British Fossils My Gemstone Collection

It is a presentation box of assorted polished gemstones, each paired with its name so a child can learn the gemstones of the world. The stones are around 1.7cm across and come in an individual pouch measuring about 9cm x 7cm.

Yes. Each polished stone is presented with its name, which turns the box into an easy first lesson in identifying different gemstones rather than just a bag of pretty stones.

The stones are polished, but they are still natural, so colour, pattern and exact shape vary from stone to stone. Yours will be recognisably the same types shown while not being identical to the photo.

Each polished gemstone is roughly 1.7cm x 1.7cm x 1.7cm. As natural stones cut and polished by hand, sizes vary a little rather than being perfectly uniform.

It is designed as an affordable introduction, so a child can sort the stones, learn their names and display them. It works well alongside the other British Fossils sets as a collection grows.

The polished stones are small, so they suit older children and need adult supervision. Keep them away from babies and toddlers who still put small objects in their mouths, and store loose stones away between play.

The pouch keeps the set together, and a tray or small compartment box helps lay the stones out by name. Keep them dry, and pair the box with other British Fossils gems to build the collection.
