I stopped in here for a little gift for a friend and had the most magical time! This shop has any crystal or fossil you can think of! I saw things I have not seen in other stores before! Everything was reasonably priced ($3-150 depending on what you were looking at). The workers were very knowledgeable about all the rocks and minerals they had in the store, it was well organized and it was just a very pleasant experience. The shop is so beautiful inside and I loved how much natural light there was. I am sad we don't have a shop here in my hometown like this! read more

Nature's Own - Jewelry Near Me - Fort Collins, Colorado

A have-everything shop for geode and rock nerds, I cannot recommend the space more, however it's difficult to buy things when each piece costs $30-50 on the low end. My only concern would be the ethics behind the procurement of the geology pieces. read more

Fantastic selection, very impressive monumental pieces as well as lovely small ones and everything in between.

Such a fun store to explore! I definitely will be coming back for my gift shopping. I already found a perfect pair of earrings for a friend's birthday. They have such a huge variety of things, and there is something to fit almost every budget. There are gorgeous and gigantic fossils that are hundreds to thousands of dollars, and smaller trilobites and ammonites that are $10-20, all of which are perfect as a unique piece of decor. The staff was also very friendly and helpful. I definitely recommend stopping by! read more

This is the ultimate store for rock lovers, and one of my favorite places to stop in when in town. There is a little something for everyone here ... if you're a rock and/or fossil person, even if you have children, and I'm definitely the first. Immediately when you enter you know you're in for a treat. Every turn you make has different types of rocks and gems, in many different forms, at many different prices. Like clockwork, any time I stop in, I immediately start my journey to the right of the store, touching as many different rocks as I can along the way. My most recent visit left me with green and purple tourmaline with a hole through the top of it. I bought a foot-and-some of a cord they had and made it into a cute necklace. Prices are decent for the most part, with some very expensive treasures. Regardless if I don't buy anything, I always love the visit! read more

We love to go in here and browse on the weekends. I have so many cool fossils, rocks, and crystals from this place just because they caught my eye and were a great price. read more

I'm a rock hound. I'd probably also love gems and jewels, but I'm cheap so Rocks it is. I've been rock shopping in Estes Park, Boulder, Nederland and Fort Collins. Of all the specialty shops I've been to in Colorado, I enjoy Nature's Own the best. Rock collectors will notice the sparkly rocks and various sized fossils immediately upon entering. From quarter sized hunks of lapis lazuli for the beginner to 3 foot tall slabs of ameythst for the serious collector, this is just the tip of the iceberg. The entire back room is full of a wide variety of onyx, stone and fossil vases, bowls, and coasters. The jewelry counter makes me drool. Pendants in every shape, size, color, and style possible all made from polished stones, rocks and minerals. Whether you want to spend $15 or $40 you are going to find you next favorite pendant here. I also once bought a fist sized hunk of rose quartz that would easily have cost me 5 times as much on Pearl Street in Boulder. In addition to all these wonders, they have a mountain of stuffed animals, puppets, unconventional action figures and science toys. It's like the Discovery store, the zoo gift shop and Pandora's all mixed together. read more

I love Nature's Own!!! The store is packed with a never-ending assortment of beautiful rocks, minerals, fossils, jewelry, educational toys and more. I'm sure I could while away the entire afternoon picking out beautiful things to buy for myself and others! I also love that they donate a portion of their proceeds to multiple environmental charities around the world. An environmentalist, Roy Young founded Nature's Own as a means to fund his varied intetests and non-profit endeavors which I think is amazing! There are currently four Colorado stores (Boulder, Nederland, Ft. Collins and Breckenridge). read more

We come here every time we are here in Fort Collins. We absolutely love this store. Rocks, fossils, insects, etc... We spend a lot of time just looking but also go home with something! read more

Such a fun store! Rocks and puzzles, and toys and stuff! So many fun things to look at and interesting things to look at. Staff generally stays put at the register, and lets you do your thing. Definitely was a nice stop and glad we found it read more

Wonderful shop filled with gorgeous rocks, minerals, jewelry, one of a kind items, and things for the kids! Walk in and just marvel at the beauty! read more

If you loved the science center and the science center gift shop, as a kid, you're going to love this place. Part of it is like walking into the geology section of a museum... giant amethysts, polished stones, fossils, wooly mammoth hair! All available for purchase, if you can pay the price. The owner is a former geologist -- so the stuff is legit! The other part is full of stoneware kitchen stuff, jewelry showcasing quartz and other sparklies, and kits, games, and miscellany for science-savvy kids. Amidst so much coolness, you're bound to find something you (or someone you know) can't live without. read more

I found out that Nature's Own carries fluorescent rocks, ones that glow under a black light. I think this has eluded me before because the section where they are at does not highly indicate that these rocks have this ability unless you hold the rock very closely to the set of black lights that are nearby and probably I just missed the sign too. Great fluorescent rocks at good prices! read more

Love this store. It's a museum and store in one. There are lot of fossils, rocks, giant jewels and marble. There's a section for kids with my favorite animal puppets. Fancy glass thermometers, numerous mortar and pestles, pretty dishware, science games, dinosaur toys, cards, and so many other things I can't list. I recommend just to stop in and look around, it's great to wander around. read more

I've lived here for over 15 years and not once have i felt welcome in this store. Im never greeted when i walk in and when i ask for help the staff always seems bothered even though all they are doing is chatting. It's hard to want to shop locally when the customer service is so bad. read more

Love this place. Shop here every time I'm visiting from Detroit. Staff is super friendly, helpful and very knowledgeable about all minerals, stones and fossils. Pricing is reasonable. Helps to know a bit about what you are buying beforehand but I have never been disappointed. Started my meteorite collection from here. read more

This place is great for all ages, candles and really beautiful rocks and books! Poor customers service though .

This is the coolest store in Fort Collins. They have tons of fossils, gems, stones and jewelry, but also science kits and toys for kids. The prices are reasonable, the products are awesome, and the people who work there are super friendly! Absolutely my new favorite shop. read more

Friendly workers! They are a great help and fun to talk to. There's more than just minerals. There's toys for children, or scientific toys (my favorite). The rocks are vey well priced, though of course some are quite extraordinary and will cost you a pretty penny; but it's worth it. They have rare lab designed rocks which look amazing, and don't cost all that much. Some art vendor pieces and small stones that are easy for children to start their own collection! This store is one of the best I've seen in my life for rocks and minerals. If you're in Fort Collins and like this kind of thing, this is definitely a stop for you! You won't regret it! read more

Nature's Own does have an excellent selection of rocks but lacks decent customer service. Employees do not greet or ask if you need assistance, and when I ask them a question they are apathetic bordering on insolent. I attribute these issues directly to management and their indifference to the employees' conduct. read more

I've stopped here every time I'm in Fort Collins. It's really cool. Get past the schlocky touristy stuff and there are some very beautiful pieces. The staff is friendly and genuinely enjoy their jobs and talking to new people. read more

I recently purchased a very large geode and was impressed with the knowledge and expertise of one of the store managers Aaron S. He gave me great insight into the options I had, the origin of the geode, the value and features of it that make it stand out compared to others. In addition he was extremely reliable and professional in delivering the geode to my house in a prompt manner. He was very responsive to my requests and questions. I would recommend this store without hesitation. read more
