Nature’s Own

Not that great. The first time I came in, the were semi-​friendly and did provide some level of service. I bought an $ 18 mammal tooth and $ 3 piece of dinosaur eggshell. They were not the great at helping me check out and I waited for several minutes in the store. The second time I came in, only a few months later, the service I recieved was sort of… well…terrible. They raised the price on everything including all of the fossils. I was just about to buy a specimen, but the clerk was helping someone at their jewelry counter. The lady glanced at me and said to the woman she was helping, «This young man has had lots of questions today, I’ll help him later.» I found that very dissrespectful and rude. Maybe other people have had nice experiences at this store, but this IS what happened. I also hate the town of Breckenridge. It is crowded, congested, and filled with annoying out of state tourists who were bothering my dog by getting close to her. I will still buy at the Boulder location. I received excellent service their

Amazing selection of crystals. Love that they have little details of where it’s from & how old etc. Also plenty of fossils. Great place to browse or finding unique gifts.

Love this store! They have so many neat things to look at, you will always find something new you didn’t notice before!

We love this store. Every visit to Breckenridge, we visit and add to our collection. Owners are so nice appreciative of their new and return customers.

What a lovely store!
I work with and am very fond of crystals. I found this store by accident, and I’m so glad that I did! They have a great collection of crystals, fossils and other random science related items. I stocked up pretty good. If I had more room in my suitcase I would have gotten more. Great prices and great stuff! Thank you!

My friend wanted a quick gift chachky for his girlfriend when he got back from Breck on a snowboard trip. A quick stroll through town provided us with our expected gift shops, but then we found Nature’s Own.
A one of a kind, very unique store, specializing in rare stones, and other odd collectibles. He found a few items in here and I also picked up a few of my own.
I ended up buying this little turtle chachky for my tortoise. The cashier offered to write down info on the stone it was made of. Malachite from Congo of Africa is what it is apparently. A beautiful polished green lustrous stone. Price wasn’t too bad either!
Ended up also getting a nice ring for my wife. She actually picked it out herself. Looked like opal, but I forgot exactly what it was.
Very friendly, helpful staff. We loved the store and recommend you check if out!

I agree totally with the other reviewer. My spouse and I met up in Breckenridge at Nature’s Own. I was expecting to get a geode and some basic, attractive big quartz crystals. I wanted to look at their peridot (olivine) as well. They had what I knew about and much, much more.
We spent a long time looking at magnificent examples of beautiful crystals and learned a whole new level of appreciation. It felt like being in an art gallery and being able to exam up close major works of art. The staff (Susan) was very knowledgeable and helped us find what we would like best.
We bought two relatively small but exquisite crystal grouping and a small ammonites pair. My spouse is still drooling over a large ammonite (primitive nautilus like creature) crystalized fossil costing about half of our vacation budget. I worry that he’ll try to save the money by coming back to Breckenridge alone, saving my companion cost, so he can return with that awesome set.
When we left, he turned to me and said, «I didn’t know you liked minerals.». I said,“well, yes, I didn’t know you were so fond of them.”. Looks like we have discovered another shared interest. You cannot ask for more from a visit to a store.
Go to Nature’s Own. You’ll like it.

I’m so sad I didn’t get to spend more time in this store. There was just so much to see! Not only do they have a wonderful assortment of minerals, ranging from the kind you would buy your seven-​year-​old to the kind you would drop thousands for, but also so much more. There were posters, books, kids games/​activities, Zuni fetishes, fossils, greeting cards and glass art. Wonderful store to stop in if you are tired of the ubiquitous ski shops and corporate names.
