Remembrance Day / Armistice Day / Veterans Day

At the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month, the Commonwealth, France and the United States fall silent. Remembrance Day is the day of the red poppy and the two-minute silence — a shared message of gratitude, sacrifice and peace. These are its stones: larimar, the calm blue of Caribbean water, and rhodochrosite, the rose of the Andes, stones long linked with peace; and the courage stones — agate, garnet, malachite, tiger's eye and dragon's blood jasper. For its beauty, its story, and whatever meaning you give it.
