Happy Easter Everyone!
Spring has officially sprung with flowers blooming, warmer temperatures, and outdoor back to Nature projects abound. Hope you and your little ones can join in our fun this Saturday at our special Easter egg hunt in our Rock Depot. We skip the candy in our eggs, instead filling them with crystals, stones, fossils, coupons and fun surprises.

A rock'in eggstra special time!


A great big thanks to everyone who came to our 12th Annual Tucson Truck Show. Weather was great, lots of smiles and laughter, tons of new inventory to see and so many happy people now with new treasures. It became clear that we have outgrown our original concept of a Truck Sale and visitors who don't know the story of why we called it a "Truck Sale" find the title confusing, especially during "truck sale month" in the auto industry. Therefore, we will continue to bring you our annual opportunities to preshop all our new store inventory except, in the future, we will be introducing these buying events as our Annual Tucson or Denver Showcase. In the mean time, be sure to stop in soon and see all the new merchandise to choose from. The shelves are packed with amazing specimens and lots of options to choose from.
 
Remember, this is the month to honor our Mother Earth. On Earth Day, Sunday the 22nd, we will be giving back to the efforts of preserving our Rain forests by donating a portion of our sales for that day. So, if you are looking for a place to reconnect, come walk among some of Mother Earth's greatest miracles and feel her love in all the minerals and earth treasures that we have to offer.


Blessings to all,
Karen and the staff

The Nature's Treasures Family would like to extend our deepest condolences to the family of Maria Prinz, who transitioned on March 7, 2018. Maria has a place in so many of our hearts, and although we know her Spirit surrounds us, we will miss her in the physical form. Maria has been a priceless member of the NT Practitioner Team over the years and has offered loving healing sessions, along with her fragrant oils, and intuition. Her husband, Herbert K. Prinz, and family has set up Go Fund Me to help with expenses incurred if you would like to donate.
  
We Love You, Maria~ Rest in Light!

NATURE'S TREASURES PRESENTS:
AN INTERNATIONAL EXPOSITION OF AGATE
Hosted by Nature's Treasures at The Norris Center

Coming to Austin - Summer 2019

Check it out on Facebook!

Austin Agates Exclusive


This year in Tucson we added a couple of new agates to our selection that is available to all here at the Rock Depot. In an effort to offer quality agate we are always hunting for new agate or those that have been ignored for some time.

This year we have brought in Purple Passion agate, a seam agate, from Chihuahua Provence, Mexico. This agate is well known for it's varied hues of purple to lavender, great material for cabbing. We also brought in El Sueco agate, also from Chihuahua. This was a popular agate during the early 70's and was sold, along with Coyamito and banded agate nodules from Mexico.

The El Sueco deposit was forgotten for a while and thought to have been mined out. Recent digs have proven this to be wrong and it is now available at Nature's Treasures in the Rock Depot. With the Island Agate, Condor Agate from the River Crossing dig, Dryhead and Laguna agates we have one of the best selections of agate in the United States.  

We would love to have you stop in and talk agates with us!
   

Notes on Agates:  
Silica is the key component to agate formation since it belongs to the quartz family made up of SiO2.  Because of their beauty and durability, agates have been used since the Neolithic as tools, jewelry, tableware and decor for thousands of years. Although agate has been used for ages, new world agates have only been mined recently and many varieties are mined out.
 

The Treasure Tome:
A Trove of Knowledge


 
PLAYING WITH A FULL DECK
Austin All Natural / April 2018
By Folade Speaks
 
When I worked the Front Counter at Nature's Treasures, I did not have much experience with the Tarot. Oracle cards felt more accesible because I could intuit a lot more at that time based on symbols, a single word or affirmation the cards held.
 
I developed a growing admiration for Oracle decks as I expored the artwork and illustrations that further pulled me into the Oracle messages. With an affinity to Mary Magdalene and Kuan Yin, I first chose Magdalene Oracle: An Ocean of Eternal Love, and the   Kuan Yin Oracle: Blessings, Guidance & Enlightenment from the Divine Feminine. These two decks contained messages which felt like they were arriving before me from the hands of both Divine Feminines.

A second deck from Alana Fairchild, The Isis Oracle and the Whispers of Lord Ganesha: Oracle Cards by Angela Hartfield would follow, and soon, I was addicted...

The Rainforest Partnership was born in 2007 to protect, preserve and perpetuate healthy rainforests through community based projects intended to stimulate local economies through ecological practices that also benefit native species.

The Rainforest Partnership recognizes and works towards this goal for many reasons ranging from environmental factors to the protection of endangered species to the preservation of unique cultures and languages.  One fifth of all freshwater on Earth resides in tropical rainforests and supports the growth of trees vital to oxygenation of the Earth's atmosphere and removal of carbon dioxide.  One tree produces 260 pounds of oxygen a year, while one acre of trees can remove 2.6 tons of carbon dioxide in the same amount of time.  More than 1,300 species of butterfly, 1,500 species of flowering plants, and 750 species of trees find their home in the rainforests of South America alongside 400 indigenous peoples that speak over 300 different languages.

For a complete list of projects organized and supported by The Rainforest Partnership, please visit   https://rainforestpartnership.org/projects/.  Nature's Treasures is proud to sponsor an Earth Day fundraiser benefiting The Rainforest Partnership by contributing 5% of all sales on Sunday, April 22rd to the continuation of projects such as these!

Birthstone



 
Diamond  
 
Unsurprisingly, the diamond is a symbol of everlasting love, was once thought to bring courage. In Sanskrit, the diamond is called "vajra," which also means lightning; in Hindu mythology, vajra was the weapon of Indra, the king of gods. The diamond is the symbol of purity, innocence, eternity and courage. In ancient times, diamonds were believed to be tears of the Gods. The beauty and brilliance of a diamond is unparalleled and birthstones meaning for diamonds is eternal and true love, strength and romance.
Healing and Uses: The diamond is an energy amplifier. It is a stone that is thought to never requires recharging. It will bring strength and endurance to all energies and will enhance the power of other crystals. However, beware, as this means it will increase negative energy as well as positive! It's perfect for blocking electromagnetic stress and for protection against cell phone emanations, as it purifies and detoxifies all of the body's systems, rebalances the metabolism, and builds up stamina, strength and treating allergies and chronic conditions. It also helps glaucoma and clears sight. Diamond effectively treats dizziness and vertigo, and benefits the brain.
