NEW MERCHANDISE

Am still putting the new merchandise out on the floor!
Yesterday, I finished the bead shop and jewelry department. Some new Accessories too!
Today, I will be in the rock shop, unwrapping and filling in.
Selenite wands are back in stock, I bought a larger size per customers' requests.
I've been so busy with stock that I haven't been able to contact customers for their personal requests.
The shop has been busy these last two days, so there is still lots to do.
Am looking forward to the work today, the rock shop deserves some love and I intend to throw down.

I will try to post those pics I keep promising.

I really need staff.

yours in beads and rocks,

SPRING BUYING - SO EXCTING!!!!!

I haven't posted since the beginning of this year because life has been busy!!!!

I will try to post regularly, especially for those of you that are checking in and want updates on the rock shop.

I just got home from the first Spring buy and am loaded with new specimens, beads and silver!

We connected with some of our dear vendors and made some new business friends along the way. I am very excited about these new relationships because of the people and their understanding and dedication to the mineral world.

I brought home some specimens of Melodys' current favorite. It's loaded with 4 or 5 minerals!(I'll provide you with the name later today)

I had quite an impressive shopping list for my rockhounds......I am happy to post that I found specimens for everyone who asked......

The newest editions to the shop are Egyptian Glass and Fulgerite.
Fulgerite is also known as a lightening strike. It is formed in the sand after a strike and is tubular in shape. Metaphysical users say that one should blow through the tube when working with it. It's very cool!

Also, I couldn't take my eyes off of the Sheen Obsidian! Brought back some for the rock shop and beads. Gorgeous! Even in 8mm bead form, gorgeous! The sheen can be seen in the smallest example.

Topaz crystals! The deepest color and the pointy-est points. Some samples with Bixbyite, so excited about this combination, this I call ... a 2fer.... a bonus .... like the Melody stone, more than 1 mineral packs a wild punch, the minerals amplify each other.....ah! Mother Nature....she knows what she's doing....

Will post more later, gotta get the store stocked and ready to open at noon!

yours in rocks and beads,

Kathy
