Happy New Year 2022.!!!
Take a big deep breath and let it out. We made it through 2021! Adventure lays ahead. Hold on to your hats, 2022 is positioned to be a zippy year. The planets are lined up to make this a year of uplifting energy with the first half of the year fairing better than the latter half. Be careful not to get caught in all that glitters though; stay grounded. From May thru October the planetary energy is in alignment to offer one of the best opportunities ever to experience the blessings of manifestation. If you don’t know how to manifest learn! Those who know how, just do it! In the last quarter of 2022 do yourself and everyone around you a favor and focus on thorough communications. You’ll be glad you did. With Mercury going retrograde four times this year ( 1/14~2/3, 5/10~6/2, 9/9~10/2, 12/29~1/18) be sure to pay extra attention to the power of all your words this year. It’s more important than ever to make that New Year’s resolution list and/or story board for 2022. Doesn’t matter if resolutions get broken early on, drag that list out during the manifestation period this year and see what life changing things you can manifest.
The end of January we are going to resume our previous schedule of heading to Tucson for the 67th International Gem, Mineral, Jewelry and Fossil Shows. This month long event is back on full speed this year so we will be taking this time and opportunity to find the latest and greatest buys to bring back for you. This year Robert, our expert on all things Agate, will be selling product at our shared booth location in the at the Pueblo Gem & Mineral Show, which can be found at the Ramada by Windham from January 27th thru February 8th. With our adjusted buying practices due to Covid and shipping delays, we are hoping to be able to have more time and energy to search and find those new and rare pieces to offer. I am in Tucson now and in talking with vendors as they are arriving and setting up there seems to be an overall sense of excitement and anticipation of this being the best show ever. Be on alert though, pricing is all over the board but uniformly getting higher as production and shipping costs continue to go up with demand.
Our online store team will be showing off some of their new goodies at the upcoming Spiritual Life Metaphysical Fair this coming weekend at Norris Convention Center (see below for more details). Many selections are only available online and at the show so stop by and let our talented staff show off their knowledge and passion for crystals. They can help you make the best selections and show you how to work with everything for optimum results. The online store is currently getting shipments from all over the world and fast running out of room. Be sure to take advantage of deep discounts on all your favorite stones on sale and use discount code 2022ROCKS to save an extra 15% on your order.
Do you love talking and writing about all things crystal? The online store needs great content creators to help with product descriptions, recommendations and more. If you are looking for a more physical connection on a daily basis they are also looking for warehouse, shipping and receiving and customer service professionals too! Come rock with the largest crystal store in Texas! Contact support@naturestreasuresatx.com for more information.
Our daily practitioners are back in the store during the week so be sure to check out who is available below.
We hope your holidays were delightful and that 2022 will bring you lots of uplifting energy and wonderful surprises. Thank you all for your support helping us continue to be your nature haven. ❤️

Featured Agate - El Seuco Agate
|
This month it is an agate called El Sueco, from Chihuahua State, Mexico.
It is found at Sierra del Gallgo, Ahumada Municipality, Chihuahua , Mexico to be more exact, The agate is found on Rancho El Sueco. This is near the Heart of the popular agates from Mexico, Laguna, Coyamito, Moctezuma, Agua Nuevas and Loma Pintas. Often found in bright colors of red, yellow, purple and with pseudomorphs and parallax. Museum grade agates like the one pictured here are very rare, perhaps making up 1% of all agate production. El Sueco is a slang term used in Mexico for "the Swede" and it is found next to the Rancho Coyamito with which it shares many similarities.

Featured Fossil : Horn Coral Fossil
|
Horn Coral is a fossil belonging to and extinct group of rugose, or “wrinkled” corals. This particular horn coral appeared about 450 million years ago and lived for almost 200 million years. These coral can usually be found while combing a beach as well as in limestone from the Devonian age. Horn coral could grow within a colony and formed single horns reaching nearly three feet in length. Horn Corals sometimes are referred to as dragon tooth coral and have an energy of the fairy realm, the image of a unicorn appears in the mind’s eye. They would be ideal in assisting in energy work or being part of a collection for fossil seekers. Either way…May the dragon energy be at your side to protect you and the unicorn energy to guide you into the New Year, for whatever adventure is in store!

Jimmy P
Jimmy joins us from Katy, Texas. He moved to Austin 2 years ago. An avid rock and fossil collector, Jimmy found himself working in the Rock Depot on the weekdays and then commuting back to Houston to work at the Houston Museum of Natural Science on weekends. These two places have been ideal environments for Jimmy to learn and find joy as he loves all natural beauty. When not working you might find him partying, throwing edged weapons, or hiking. He loves working in the Rock Depot where I can share my passion with our customers and learn tons in the process.

My favorite rocks are malachite and mookaite for their brilliant colors and how fun it is to say their names.
