It’s hard to believe there is only 2 more months left in 2021. It’s been an interesting progression of healing and adjustments this year. Each month we’ve seen progress with respect to public adherence to all the necessary changes in our everyday lives, yet it still feels like we’re not at a “normal point” yet and wonder when the days of normalcy will be present again. It is nice not to have to focus on personal survival so much, so maybe we can shift our energy and focus on survival of the planet more. It sure does seem like the planet needs and could use our help.
Our 16th Annual Denver Fall Trunk Sale is running full force and we continue to stock the auditorium with new inventory daily. We will be ending our showcase on November14th, so be sure to continue to watch for our weekly bulletins announcing what new products we have processed. Fortunately the shipping backlogs have not had a noticeably negative impact on our pallet arrivals yet and price increases so far seem to be minimal on most items. The vendors seem to be absorbing the bulk of the financial impacts so far.
One of the holidays in November, besides the infamous Thanksgiving Day, we should make note of this month is Veterans Day. Somehow it seems out of order that we devote more time, attention and media notoriety to giving thanks to a day designed to celebrate the conquering of this land, than showing thanks to all the veterans that serve in our armed forces who make it possible for us to keep this land free to enjoy. At 11:00 on the 11th day of the 11th month in 1918, WWI ended. On 11/11/1926 the holiday Armistice Day was officially created to honor those who fought for our freedom. After WWII in 1954 President Eisenhower proclaimed November 11th as Veterans Day to acknowledge all military personnel who serve in all our armed forces. We don’t hesitate to give thanks on Thanksgiving Day, so let’s pledge to show our thanks at 11:00 on 11/11 this year for those who are committed to keeping our land free. Don't forget we “fall back” on daylight savings day on the 7th and lets all spread the peace on World Peace Day 11/17.
We were out and about last month and enjoyed seeing and saying hi to everyone who stopped by our booths at The Holistic Life Fair and AGMS Gem Capers Show. It was so good to be able to enjoy the interaction and conversations in person with so many people. We got to see people we haven’t seen in over a year. It felt so joyous and blessed to be able to share all that has been happening in others lives. We all love mineral vibrations but there is nothing like good old human contact.
For our online store customers we have restocked a new selection of hand made gifts from Peru and your favorite premium incense brands like Goloka and Green Tree plus some exciting new fragrances that are already a hit with the online department staff. Just in time for holiday gift ideas, we found some unique wooden shelves for crystals and knickknacks just in time for giving to all your crystal lovers in your life.
Our daily practitioners are back in the store during the week so be sure check out who is available below.
We feel your love ❤️

16th Annual Denver Fall Trunk Show |
|
October 16th through November 14th |
We are so excited to bring you new treasures from around the world! This year we continued with our new process of restocking inventory and have been steadily amassing pallets of orders in preparation for this event. In addition to limited supplies of some high demand stones like Carnelian, Rose Quartz and Aventurine, we will also be restocking some other popular stone choices and even bringing in some completely new finds like Malachite with Fluorite and the yet unnamed impact glass only available through us!
During the 16th Annual Denver Fall Trunk Show we will have some event related protocols in place due to COVID-19. Many of you have been to our Trunk Shows during the pandemic, and may remember some of these protocols. First off, our Main Entrance will be moved to the Auditorium Doors, and our Exit Only will be where our main entrance normally is. We will have checkouts available at the Front Counter as well as in the Trunk Show. Our capacity will also be increased since we will have extra square footage, so up to 150 customers (200 if we reach Stage 3 by then) will be allowed in the Retail Showroom/Auditorium at a time. Our fans will be circulating air 24/7 to minimize the risk of COVID spreading. Please remember to BRING YOUR MASKS as we will have a limited number of masks available for purchase.

November UPDATES: COVID-19 Safety Protocols
|
|

We will continue to monitor the Austin/Travis County COVID Tracker, HERE.

Please remember to step back to the blue lines at check out and maintain 6' of distance from anyone not in your party. We will continue to require 2-ply masks that cover nose/mouth at all times, regardless of vaccination status. Please remember to SHOP ONLINE if you are unable or unwilling to wear a mask for any reason.
We will continue with our limited services. Due to limited staffing, all returns/exchanges, layaways and wholesale/resale/tax exempt transactions will be BY APPOINTMENT ONLY. For an appointment, please e-mail admin@ntrocks.com. Please include your receipt number and item you wish to return to schedule your return/exchange.
Bags, backpacks, purses, etc. will no longer be allowed in the Retail Showroom due to increased shoplifting. Please leave valuables at home or locked securely in your vehicle.

Featured Agate - El Sueco Agate
|
This time around it is El Sueco Agate from Mexico.
This is from a small deposit near Rancho Coyamito in Chihuahua State. It is about 145 miles south of El Paseo near highway 45. Found on the Rancho Sueco the area where the agate is found is near many other agate deposits. The volcanic past of the region has created a perfect environment for the formations of some of the most beautiful agates in the world.

Featured Fossil : Turritella Agate Fossil (polished in house) |
Found in the Green River Formation of Wyoming, the Turritella Agate is the name used for a brown Agate containing a fossil called Turritella, which is a species of a coiled, cone shaped sea snail. Turritella is the Latin word meaning towered or turret. Turritella Agate is known as the Record Keeper (dating back to 53 million years ago) which can be used to help you connect to your homeland or ancestors. When you feel like you have hit rock bottom, reach for Turritella Agate for strength and encouragement to keep striving for your goals until you tower to the top. Turritella is often worn as a talisman in jewelry and is also found in many forms, such as slabs to decorate your home or office space. |

Alaena
Born in Atlanta, Alaena and her family came to Austin to find better work opportunities. Alaena originally worked in the medical field, but found that it would break her heart at times. It was during one of her more rough times that Nature's Treasures took her in. Now working for the Online Department fulfilling customer orders, she gets to learn something new about crystals every day while developing a closer bond with them. Her main goal is to keep an open mind and continue helping others while staying a strong role model for her daughter.

Gem Capers Recap

We are just at home with our rockhounds and lapidaries, but were happy to see a growing presence of our spiritual brethren at this year's Gem Capers Show sponsored by the Austin Gem & Mineral Society. This year boasted some beautiful rock and mineral specimens as well as educational children's games & activities. We sponsored the displays at the front entrance and heard they made quite an impression this year! |
