What's New
This trip we were able to bring back Stone Age Artifacts, including arrowheads and tools, that are 4,000 to 8,000 years old from Niger and Western Sahara. We found the elusive and rare "Golden Enhydro" Quartz Crystals from Pakistan that  have petroleum inclusions in them and fluoresce a bright blue under black light. These crystals are said to be 500 million years in creation and were first introduced at Munich in 2002.  We got 2 natural stone rocking benches in Aventurine and Red Jasper and the most beautiful Amazonite pieces, some with smokey quartz,  from Colorado.  Another rare find was a few blue Amber pieces from Indonesia. We discovered and brought home extra, extra large polished Garnets, large polished pieces of Scolecite and nice palm sized polished pieces of Boulder Opal, along with a few remarkable pieces of Red Amethyst from Brazil and Native Copper pieces from Michigan.

You Asked For It & We Got It
Skulls - lots of skulls in all sizes, shapes and materials. We even have skulls crafted by the famous skull carver Leandro from Brazil. We purchased more Tanzanite crystals, Eilat Stone, clear pink Danburite crystals, tumbled Dravite pieces, Pyrite balls, Lepidolite in disk and botryoidal forms, Peitersite in all sizes and shapes, Phenacite crystals, authentic Boji Stones, large "Auralite 23" wands and the largest parcel of Moldavite we have ever purchased. We restocked our Peruvian Butterflys, the much needed Salt Lamps and both large and small black Tourmaline crystals.


Quartz Lovers
For those who love quartz, we brought back more of the mysterious Mozambique Crystals, Rainbow Quartz (Anandalite) from India and small Cathedral Quartz (aka "Lightbraries"). We were also successful in finding more of those powerful black Beta Quartz Crystals from Italy and able to restock our Crystal Bowls.  As a Show Special we are offering our North Carolina Quartz Crystals ("Golden Azeztulite") at $1.00 per gram which is 1/2 our current retail price in the store.

 


For our creative customers we snagged natural Chalcopyrite cabs, some extraordinary beads, a bag of natural pearls - undrilled and a new supply of wire and findings to work with. We discovered a new vendor who creates jewelry pieces using silk macrame and jade in multiple colors and shapes plus some amazing pastel colored Fluorite with Selenite table lamps.  
 
OUR NEW ROCK DEPOT WILL BE OPEN FOR THE TRUCK SALE
We are almost done with relocating all those goodies from our Braker & Kramer store to our new Rock Depot located just to the north of our neighbors Vitruvian Vitamins. The Depot will soon be open 7 days a week and will cater to all rock hounds, young and old alike, offering various lapidary equipment, slabs, rough rock and lots of jewelry making items to create with. Bins and barrels of tumbled and rough rock will be around for the pickins'. Drums of new material from Tucson including Cherry Creek Jasper, Labradorite, Aqua Nueva Agate, Laguna Lace Agate and Blue Lace Agate will be open for you to find your perfect piece.
