Southwest Treasures

Southwest Treasures We offer unique and high quality crystals at a fair price with exceptional customer service too!

We are a husband-and-wife team whose crazy rock addiction started when we were on the hunt for smooth and beautiful rocks to hand paint as part of a kindness project. Our collection then progressed to a succulent addiction where each "baby" received their own crystal inside their planter. We then became collectors ourselves and our own personal collection "exploded" all over our house! We pride ou

rselves for building great relationships with our vendors (many who work directly with the mines and/or factories). This way we cut out the "middleman" and can provide you with the highest quality products at fair and reasonable prices.

Own a real piece of prehistoric history! These unique bone-shaped carvings are crafted from genuine, fossilized Sauropod dinosaur bone from Morocco's famous Kem Kem Beds. Dating back approximately 95 - 100 million years, these fossils come from some of the largest animals ever to walk the Earth, including long-necked Sauropods believed to be related to Titanosaurs.

Unlike replicas or cast fossils, these carvings are made from genuine, fossilized dinosaur bone that has been naturally preserved and mineralized over millions of years.

What makes these carvings truly special is the visible cellular bone structure preserved within the fossil. Over millions of years, the original bone was gradually replaced by minerals through a process called permineralization, preserving the intricate internal patterns of the dinosaur's bone. Each carving displays these fascinating natural details, making every piece completely one of a kind.

Why This Fossil Is Special

Unlike many fossils that only preserve the outer shape of an organism, fossilized dinosaur bone can preserve the original internal bone structure. The unique cellular patterns visible in each carving are a direct glimpse into the anatomy of a dinosaur that once roamed the Earth during the Late Cretaceous Period.

Fun Fact

Did you know some Ammonites still preserve traces of their original shell?

This beautiful Ammonite pair shows flashes of natural iridescences when viewed in the light. These flashes come from preserved Nacre, also known as Mother-of-Pearl, which can survive for millions of years under the right conditions.

Ammonites swam the oceans alongside the dinosaurs before going extinct around 66 million years ago. While most fossil shells lose their original structure over time, some retain microscopic layers that create brilliant flashes of color when light hits them at just the right angle.

It's a reminder that even after millions of years, nature can still surprise us with a little bit of color. ❤️

What other color flashes can you spot?

✨ Golden Rutilated Quartz Tower ✨

Look at this amazing piece and you'll see gorgeous pieces of delicate Golden Rutile needles that are suspended within the Quartz!!! These inclusions formed millions of years ago and became trapped as the crystal grew, preserving a unique snapshot of the geological conditions present during its formation.

No two pieces of Rutilated Quartz are ever the same. The intersecting Rutile needles create intricate patterns that appear to float within the crystal, making each specimen a one-of-a-kind natural work of art.

Isn't nature amazing? Now is someone going to give this beautiful baby a home or am I added her to my shelf? 😆 🤣 😂

Did you know that Ammonites lived in the oceans over 65 million years ago? These fascinating fossilized creatures are the extinct relatives of modern-day Nautiluses, Squid, and Octopuses.

🌀 What are the "holes" inside an Ammonite?

They're actually ancient chambers! As the Ammonite grew, it created new chambers and sealed off the old ones. These chambers helped the animal control its buoyancy in the ocean over 65 million years ago. Today, some chambers remain hollow while others are filled with sparkling crystals and minerals (this particular one has Calcite), making every ammonite pair a one-of-a-kind piece of natural history!!!



Do you own any Ammonite...yet?
