The BIG Move
February Updates
Build-Out of New Retail Showroom & Rock Depot Continues!
We are happy to offer you TWO LOCATIONS to shop from during this transition. Yes, you can still find our Retail Showroom and Rock Depot at 4103 N IH35, 7 days a week! Or swing by our officially opened Event Center at 11055 N IH35 to shop our Crystal Boutique Friday through Monday!
Going from an open warehouse with no heating/cooling to a multi-department retail business is harder than we thought! After updates from our General Contractor and Project Manager, here is our current (not set in stone) plan for the Big Move:
- February - complete construction by end of month & complete final permitting
- March - complete multi-phased move one department at a time to best serve customers; set-up new space
- April - 25th Anniversary Spring Trunk Show & Showroom Grand Opening; stay tuned for dates!
Please share this info with anyone that asks about our status and thank you for your patience with this arduous process!

January Updates
Yes! We're still open at our 4103 N IH-35 location through the end of January 2025 (and possibly even longer)! We have made lots of progress with our tenant improvements at our new location (11055 N IH-35) now that we have gotten our permits, but some unexpected hurdles have slowed us down this holiday season. Regardless of the set-backs we still plan to celebrate our Grand Opening on January 25th, 2025 at our new Event Center! If you have not already visited the new site, please plan to attend any and all of our amazing events (listed in Dark Blue on https://ntrocks.com/calendar) and our temporary Pop-Up Store as well!
Thank you for your continued support as we maintain both locations and stay tuned for more updates next month!
By now you've all heard of the 111+ businesses in Austin being moved for the TxDoT IH35 Corridor Project. We wanted to let you know Nature's Treasures is one of those businesses.
We are excited to announce that we have secured a lease on a new 18,000 sq ft store and 5,200 sq ft event center! In addition to more space for crystals, fossils, bulk rock, jewelry, and all of the other treasures you’ve come find at Nature’s Treasures we will have additional parking, additional restrooms, bike racks, natural light, green spaces and even a creek running through our front yard!

Buckle up Austinites: TxDOT breaks ground on next decade of construction along I-35
The Texas Department of Transportation broke ground on its I-35 Capital Express Central project Oct. 30, signaling the next decade of construction along I-35 through Austin. What's happening: The project will add two nontolled high-occupancy-vehicle, or HOV, lanes stretching roughly 8 miles from Hwy. 290 down to Hwy. 71. The $4.5 billion infrastructure project will also lower the main lanes and remove the upper decks.

Nature’s Treasures of Texas, a beloved haven for crystal enthusiasts and fans of spiritual treasures, is excited to announce its expansion to a larger location, set to open January 2025.
The new venue will increase the store's size from 14,000 to 25,000 square feet, allowing for an expanded selection of products that cater to more clientele. Customers can look forward to a broader array of crystals, minerals and fossils, along with unique jewelry pieces and home decor items that celebrate the beauty of nature.
“We're going to develop new partnerships with other local businesses for cross-promotion and featuring their products in our store. This will allow us to showcase beautiful, natural world items like plants and wood crafts, aligning perfectly with Nature’s Treasures,” retail manager Michael Kallstrom said.
Nature’s Treasures focuses on providing a welcoming environment where customers can explore and receive support during their discoveries. First-time visitors have no need to worry, as the staff is ready to assist and will even offer a grounding crystal to help ease any anxiety.
Understanding that not everyone has the same experience with spiritual and metaphysical items is fundamental to the Nature’s Treasures approach. Each person’s journey with these treasures is deeply personal and shaped by their unique needs and feelings.
As visitors step into the store, they can explore a diverse array of crystals and minerals, discovering what truly resonates with them. This exploration is essential, allowing individuals to connect with the energies of different items and understand how they make them feel on a deeper level.
This commitment to understanding customer needs and preferences has fostered a loyal following, playing a crucial role in the store's growth since its inception.
“Nature's treasures is the brainchild and passion of Karen Richards, who founded the company in 2000. It started as a hobby when she used crystals, minerals and natural decor to stage her furniture store,” Kallstrom said. “Customers began asking to buy these items, so she decided to turn her hobby into a business. She started with a shelf of crystals, which grew into dedicated rooms at each store, eventually leading to what Nature’s Treasures is today.”
Over the years, this focus on connection has transformed Nature’s Treasures into more than just a store; it has become a beloved community hub.
“We have a larger event center that is already up and running, so we will be able to host larger community and private events to help build our community and neighborhood back up when we move,” Kallstrom said.
Nature’s Treasures continues to welcome customers at its original location at 4103 N. I-35, Austin. The new event center at 11055 N. I-35, Austin is currently open and operational, featuring a pop-up shops, weekend practitioners and special events.
“This is a great place to shop for your holiday presents and try something new because we will have seasonal holiday events and sales like our Customer Appreciation Sale Nov. 23-Dec.1, 12 Days of Giving Back Dec. 1-12 at our new 11055 Event Center and 12 Days of Giving Sale Dec. 12-24,” Kallstrom said. “We want our former customers to get a chance to say goodbye to the store but we also want new customers to feel comfortable to come in, take a deep breath, walk around and see what draws their attention.”
