We're back from our annual two weeks of shopping in Denver at the International Gem, Mineral and Fossil show and are now  diligently processing all the new inventory and holiday treats we found for you. Be sure to mark your calendars for Friday, October 11th - First Day Of NT Denver Sale!
While on R & R after shopping in Denver I was able to visit with Blue at the Pala Tourmaline mine in Pala, California. He shared mining stories and showed amazing bi-color tourmaline specimans from their mine. We bought a bag of mix color tourmaline pieces and made arrangements for a shipment of their exclusive lavender lepidolite shot full of pink tourmaline from their pala mine.
We are required to annually send out notices to update permission options for receiving our emails so, we took this opportunity to restructure our main mailing list in order to better target your likes and request for selected mailers only. Look for our "Notice of Subscription" soon and select the list that best fits your information needs.
A quick reminder we will be a vendor at the Spirtual Life Productions Metaphysical Fair at the Holiday Inn on Middle Fiskville Rd. this weekend and I will be speaking about crystals and their properties on Sunday, October 6th at 3:00 pm. Hope to see you there.
Hope everyone has a fun and safe Halloween. Let the spirits fly!
Blessings

Sharing many common interests and a strong value on education, Nature's Treasures and AGMS have been partners for many years. Recognizing that interests vary among their members and the public in general, AGMS has developed
Special Interest Groups (SIGs) that meet regularly to discuss focused topics. For example, on the second Tuesday of each month from 7-9p, the Mineral Identification SIG meets to help identify each other's minerals by recognition and using geological field methods.
With half priced membership rates being offered through October 17, you still have time to take advantage of members' expertise, rock hounding field trips, discounted lapidary classes, discounted entry to the Gem Capers Annual Gem & Mineral Show held at the Palmer Events Center and many other perks for as little as $15 for a year!
The theme this year for the
Gem Capers Annual Gem & Mineral Show is "Minerals of Canada" so come on out and learn a bit more about our northern neighbors and the treasures that come from there!

The Treasure Tome: A Trove of Knowledge
Jade: An Ambiguous Term for a Tenacious Stone
By: Michael J. Kallstrom, MS Geosciences
Although Jade holds great value in many cultures, it has also become one of the most ambiguous gem names on the market. Knuth outlines a progressive history of Jade in Gems in Myth, Legend and Lore. What we know today as "Jade" originally referred to the mineral Jadeite and became popular in China early on. However, early Spanish explorers discovered a similar material that became known as Nephrite due to natives using the stone as a cure-all for kidney problems (nephros means "kidney" in Greek). In the 16th century, the term piedra de hijada became widespread in Western civilization and over time became shortened to the modern name "Jade".

While studying at the Savannah College of Art and Design in Georgia, Christine traveled to Austin, Texas with her class for a design project which inspired her to move out to our weird city after graduation. She finds joy in befriending stray animals, making people laugh, and creating magic with art, design, and computers. You might see her covering our in-store events for social media or peeking out from the corner of the Online Store - but most likely feeding a stray cat.

Opal, from the Sankrit word
upala meaning "precious stone," is known as the Queen of Gemstones for its beauty. One legend says that the God of Storms became jealous of the Rainbow God's beauty and in a fit of rage shattered the rainbow. As the fragments fell to Earth they became petrified and turned to Opal. Interestingly enough Opals are as fragile as the rainbow from this legend. With only a hardness of 5.5 on the Mohs Hardness Scale and a tendency to crack when exposed to heat, pressure, or chemicals, this gemstone definitely requires special care.
The glittering rainbow fragments in Precious Opal, known properly as "play-of-color," combine all elemental energies, making Opal a stone of manifestation. Because of the water contained within the Opal, it possesses a natural affinity towards enhancing emotions and intuition. In a 19th century novel Anne of Geierstein, Sir Walter Scott highlights Opal's ability to project the mood of its wearer. Although many believe that Opals are unlucky to wear unless you are born in October, historical evidence does not support this superstition.

Monthly Astrology
Forecast
Autumn has arrived with the dawn of Libra season. October watches as our lives shift toward connections and relationships. At the end of September, a New Moon in Libra opened a door in the Universe and this energy will continue to shimmer over the beginning days of October. Libra as a zodiac sign rules partnership, union, and the importance of moving from "me" to "we." During this time of the year, we often cross paths with someone who is a mirror to us. Whether it is in business, love, or collaboration, we have an opportunity to become stronger by uniting. https://naturestreasuresatx.com/blogs/astrology-for-crystal-lovers/unite-october-horoscope
