It seems like many folks are looking for unique gifts…something TRULY different from the gloves, socks, picture frames, etc., etc. Fossils and mineral specimens may be the answer for some.

Who Likes Rocks?

Kids or adults…I’ve seen both ogle for hours over a unique fossil or mineral. They love showing them to friends and learning the interesting history behind them. At Fossilicious.com we’ve been able to put awesome gifts into the homes of thousands of folks in a range of prices from very little to quite a lot. You’ve come to the right place for help finding a WONDERFUL gift!

Is There A Rock Hound On Your List?

Rocks, fossils and minerals make amazing and inspiring gifts. Let’s say you have a friend who likes to hike and they pick up the unusual rock occasionally. So you already know they have an appreciation for the natural beauty of rocks and minerals. For these folks, you could browse for a beautiful amethyst, citrine, aventurine, or other precious mineral specimen. They come in all shapes, sizes and price ranges. Rock hounds like to know where the specimen came from, the chemical composition, what makes the unusual color and so on. Look for dealers who provide that information along with the specimen.

Fossils

Now a rock hound may also like unusual fossils INSIDE the rocks. There are many options to choose from here. Dinosaur coprolite (fossilized dino poop!) is really fun. We know some folks who tell their friends it’s a good-luck stone and have them give it a kiss or a lick for good luck. THEN they tell them what they’ve just done!

Boys Like Gifts With A Point Teeth are always popular, especially shark teeth…again, all shapes, sizes and prices. Because of this, you could put together a small collection that spans different time frames and geographic locations. Fossilicous.com carries shark teeth from ancient times to more recent, say 1.5 to 16 million years and they come from as far away as Morocco and near by as South Carolina…if you’re in the United States, that is.

Fossil Jewelry

Wearable fossils are fun, too! Girls and guys both like the look of natural jewelry. A simple orthoceras or ammonite hanging from a chain is a great conversation piece that can be worn every day.

Metaphysical Friends

If your friends are into metaphysical pursuits, you can’t find a better gift than a crystal or fossil. Many folks into the metaphysical qualities of rocks and minerals still don’t know that fossils have good energy, too! Your fossil purveyor should be able to provide you with this information as well as the scientific information.

For The Young Collector

A fossil collection might be just the thing for a young collector or someone who is just starting out in the fossil hobby. Again, don’t forget the information. A bag of unidentified fossils won’t be much fun. But watch their eyes light up as they pull each one out of the bag and realize they are holding a creature that was alive 300 or 400 million years ago!

If you are thinking about unique gifts fossils and mineral specimens could end your search.
