Eggs are considered to be power-giving food, they are symbols of life, purity, fertility and eternity. They were used as offerings and gifts of love. Even in the creation myths of the ancient Egyptians, the egg appears as a symbol for the Occurrence of the world. In early Christianity, the egg was regarded as a symbol of life. This idea has been preserved to this day in Easter and in the custom of hiding, giving and collecting Easter eggs. The Dumortieri eggs with stand in a box are sent ready to give away.

Dumortierite was first discovered in 1881 in a quarry in the French department of Rhône; the first scientific description was made by the mineralogist M.F. Gonnard. He named the newly discovered mineral in honor of the French paleontologist Eugène Dumortier (1801 - 1876). Occasional spellings such as dumorterite, dumortirite, dumortirite or dumoterite are therefore incorrect.
