Our Story

Welcome to Natures Treasures & Fossil Fish Adventures! 

​

Our hand-selected inventory includes geodes, crystals, gems, minerals, sea life, jewelry, artifacts, home decor & fossils from our own US based quarry. We specialize in “top quality at reasonable prices”. 

​

Our story began in 2003 when rockhound Todd Hoeg decided to turn his rock trading hobby into a business. Using his lifelong knowledge of rocks as well as his formal training in archeology, Todd built a thriving and eclectic shop in Arkansas’ most unique tourist destination. Since every item in the shop was hand-selected for quality we quickly earned a reputation as the go-to stop for rock lovers in Eureka Springs.

​

In 2017, we partnered with the Easterly Auction Company in Springfield, Missouri to go online with our treasures. We make our collection of top quality crystals, minerals, fossils, jewelry, gems, and home decor available to customers each month. It's like a rock show from the comfort of your home! Be sure to look for more details on each auction on our Facebook page or at the links on our home page.

​

An opportunity in 2021 to acquire a fossil fish quarry in Kemmerer, WY led Todd to say good-bye to the shop in Eureka Springs to pursue his passion for archeology & education. He is currently offering dig tours as Fossil Fish Adventures to those willing to put a little sweat equity into their collections.

​

Today, we have closed our retail shop but continue to run our monthly auction series, buy collections, provide wholesale buying support for shops, and operate a traveling gem-show. Our goal is to reach every rockhound who needs a few treasures, either online or at a rock show near you.
