We have a popular range of rocks. gemstones and jewellery. Our suppliers take their social and environmental responsibilities very seriously and we have statements from them regarding how they source our products, which are imported directly to Dorset - a stone's throw from the amazing World Heritage Jurassic coast.

We can also supply spectacular display pieces to include amethyst, huge ammonites, superb labradorite pieces, citrine madonnas and many more. Naturally, no two of these are anything like the same and should you be interested in a display piece we can photograph and describe the piece in great detail while offering you an industry leading price. Should larger display pieces be your main interest please e-mail your requirements to enquiries@dorsetgifts.com

Amethyst Candle Holder CH07

No two of these are the same and these beautiful mineral candle holders make a unique gift. They can be used with either Tea Lights or small aromatic candles and this popular purple violet variety of quartz emits a gorgeous glow. Amethyst was used as a gemstone by the Egyptians and Greeks thousands of years ago and one of their beliefs (apart from empire building) was that the amethyst gems could prevent intoxication. We don't sell many to the licensed trade, but lots to discerning buyers looking to create a calming peaceful atmosphere.

Rose Quartz Candle Holder CH01

Smoother than the Amethyst candle holder above and emits a pale pink to rose red hue.

It brings in the positive and also makes us money!!

Fossilstone Three Hole Candle Holder ON38

A quality gift for the home and mainly finding their way on to marble work surfaces in contemporary kitchens, although just as pleasing by the fireplace. No two of these are exactly the same so truly an unique gift and given the name "fossilstone" because of the beautiful fossilstones which are fossilized shells markings. These pieces are actually carved from a fascinating limestone found at the foothills of the Himalayas.

Single Three Hole Candle Holder £7.50

Pair of Three Hole Candle Holders £12

Fossilstone Nine Hole Candle Holder ON32

A larger candle holder similar to the three hole version above and again made of limestone from the foothills of the Himalayas, with shells and fish fossilized inside.

Agadir Ammonite AA1

Aesthetically pleasing and inherently beautiful, these ammonites are sought after by interior designers and even architects looking to create focal points for their work. Agadir ammonites - marine animals long extinct - are named after the coastal town in Morocco near the Atlas Mountains which is the region in which they are found. Ammonoids evolved in the early Devonian period about 400 million years ago and were able to swim due to their unique shell which had air chambers providing buoyancy for the animal to float. The octopus like animal living within the shell would have had tentacles used to collect and eat other sea animals! Ammonites vary in size from smaller than a 5p piece to up to 6 feet in diameter. The image is a library photo and the ammonites that we sell on the site have an overall measurement of 5 inches by 5 inches. If you are interested in larger pieces you can e-mail us at enquiries@dorsetgifts.com for competitive prices and we will send you images of the ones we have in stock.

These pairs have been meticulously cleaned and finished with a smooth polish. Like our coastline here in Dorset, yet from another sea, they are Jurassic in age.
