What to buy a geologist? It’s an intriguing question. You probably want something unique, useful, funny, and memorable… And not something they already own, right?
Well, here are my favorite gift ideas for Christmas, Birthdays, or any other occasion. These gifts would be ideal for geologists, geophysicists, rockhounds, geology teachers, earth science teachers and for anyone else who’s interesting geology, plate tectonics, volcanoes, minerals, and similar earthly creations!
I’m not a geologist myself, but I have a strong interest in volcanoes and earthquakes.
Unique Pink Agate Bookends – Geologists probably have lots of books… so this would make a great gift! My best friend gave me an agate when I was in middle school. It was beautiful and aww-inspiring. I don’t know what happened to it but I wish I still had it. Take a look at these agates turned into bookends! I just think they are so pretty.
These bookends are made of real agate found in rocks! This set has been dyed pink and polished.
Bookends are decorative, but also useful… They’d look great at home or work, in a classroom, or on any shelf!
Beautiful Hammer Holder for their Belt – High Quality Leather This looks like a useful gift idea for the hobbyist or professional. This make it easy to carry your hammer with you.

Stunning Fulgurite Necklace – Very Special Jewelry Idea! This is supposed to bring good luck.
This Fulgurite was naturally made when lightning struck sand. When this happens, the lightening melts the sand and hollow glass tubes form in a process that takes about a second. It’s a really amazing geologic process, and now you can buy a beautiful pendant featuring the Fulgurite.
They really can wear fossils every day!
