TumbleStone Calendar 2027 For Sale

For the last few years, I have produced calendars on stone-related themes for family and friends, essentially an amateur effort to share some of the interesting beach stones I have found. I have made a few copies of the Calendars available for sale as well. I am expecting delivery of the 2027 Calendar by Monday 16 November, but will take pre-orders. This 2027 Calendar is priced as follows: $30 per Calendar picked up personally, $37.50 for posting to a non-rural address in New Zealand, $42.50 to a rural address. Two Calendars to the same address cost $65 non-rural, $75 rural. Orders can be emailed to me at john.tumblestone@gmail.com and I will reply with bank account details. 

The 2027 TumbleStone Calendar features stones I collected during my 2026 South Island fossicking trips. The stones are rough (un-polished) and wet, photographed in my hand in sunlight, showing their colours and details. Between three and six photos of stones from each beach are included each month, often with a beach scene. The beaches are as follows: January, Ward Beach; February, Timaru South; March, Gemstone Beach; April, Kakanui; May, Papatotara Beach (Southland); June, Riverton Aparima; July, Gemstone Beach again; August, St Andrews (South Canterbury); September, Kakanui again; October, Kai Iwi Beach (Whanganui); November, Tiwai Beach; and December, Kakanui again. Note that not all stones are identified – many I am unsure of, some I don’t know.

My post about my 2026 Calendar last year provides details about how the calendars are produced and links to information about past Calendars.

I will produce Posts over the next few weeks providing details of the stones featured each month.

If you are really keen, you could also buy a copy of the second edition of my photobook on trace fossils, just out.  And don’t miss “What’s This Stone? A Photographic Collection of Finds from Gemstone Beach” which is now into its third printing.
