Issue December 2018

NewsletterHappy Holidays!

I've struggled in the past with accepting the change from wishing everyone a "Merry Christmas" to greeting all with the neutral safe greeting "Happy Holidays". The phrase felt impersonal until I decided to investigate what happy holidays in December really encompasses. Not only are we offering blessings, peace and happiness for Christmas, but also the Jewish celebration Hanukkah, African Kwanzaa, Indian Diwali, Native American Winter Solstice, the Iranian Yalda, Pagan Yuletide, Canadian Boxing Day the Chinese Dongzhi, the Japanese Tradition of Omisoka and the Humanist gathering for Human Light. There's several more celebrations worth noting but now I enjoy wishing everyone "Happy Holidays" and feel sincere in recognizing their personal celebrations.

We've changed our 12 Days of Giving Savings event this year so watch for our announcements. Starting December 13th. we'll post all 12 items on sale for the 12 day event. Each day one specialty sale price will be removed until on December 24th only one Special discount will remain. The earlier you shop the more discounts will be available. We've left our holiday bows on selected pieces we have discounted, some up to 75%. What a great chance to find a totally awesome Christmas Gift.

Can you believe the year is almost over and yes "the years just seem to be going by faster and faster" Research suggests with age we add more patterns thus reducing the new charges to our brain. The fewer charges per time span, the faster it feels like time is flying by. The remaining part of the year gets to be filled with peace and joy so think about all that you have achieved this year and rejoice.

Blessings &

Happy Holidays

We were so excited to have the PSA join us from UT for a field trip following a presentation by our geology specialist!

Cub Scouts Webelos Den 21 from Pack 371 visited Nature's Treasures this past month for an educational tour by our geology specialist, Michael Kallstrom.

Nature's Treasures reps Tessa and Michael had so much fun at the Girl Forward "Gratitude Night" on Monday, November 26! The theme of the night was "Dreams" and featured an interactive exhibit put on by the young ladies participating in the program in honor of their annual GF Zine release.

Meet Our Staff

Tessa moved to Austin to study psychology at The University of Texas at Austin and found her home away from home at Nature's Treasures. As a lover of crystals and holistic healing, Tessa is more than happy to share her knowledge to encourage wholeness in one's being. When she is not working, she is wrapping crystals, dancing, reading tarot, or nurturing one of her many different hobbies.

Girls are especially vulnerable to violence, isolation and being kept out of school in times of conflict, and those that do make it to the U.S. face huge challenges such as poverty, language barrier, trauma, and limited access to education. For these reasons GirlForward was established to provide a community of support dedicated to creating and enhancing opportunities for girls who have been displaced by conflict and persecution. GirlForward has two offices, one of which is here in Austin, Texas. Visit their website HERE to learn more about this forward thinking organization!

Austin Agates Exclusive

This is an Agua Nueva agate from Chihuahua Provence, Mexico. It is formed in an andesite lava not far from the Laguna agate on Rancho Agua Nueva. This agate became very popular in the mid 1990's when a deposit was found that had very strong purple banding.

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.

December's

Birthstone

December birthdays can celebrate their month with Tanzanite, Blue Zircon, or Turquoise birthstones. All stones famous for their varying shades of blue color, and each with a unique set of characteristics and structure.

How did certain gemstones become associated with the months of the year?

Experts believe that birthstones can be traced back to the Bible. In Exodus 28, Moses sets forth directions for making special garments for Aaron, the High Priest of the Hebrews. Specifically, the breastplate was to contain twelve precious gemstones, representing the twelve tribes of Israel.

Later, these twelve stones were likely also linked to the twelve signs of the zodiac. Eventually, they also became associated with the twelve months of the calendar year.

Throughout history, there have been many myths and legends associated with birthstones. Many cultures have believed that birthstones have magical healing powers or bring good luck. Not all cultures have agreed on which stones correspond to which months, though, so you can find different lists of birthstones over the course of time.
