Greetings Everyone:

which came a bit to early for us the general public and way too late for our incompetent
government working under an _____ ______. (you fill in the blanks)

* Regarding a visit to Escalante Rock Shop during
the Coronavirus "Lock Down" *
Escalante Rock Shop is CLOSED until further notice.

Remember:
Coronavirus preventatives are required when shop does open:
No hand shakes, hugs or kisses.
Forget elbow bumps and use hand signals for greetings & departures.

You should probably stay home this year and order rocks from your favorite rock
shop without leaving your favorite I-phone or computer chair. You might want to order a handful
of worry stones for your pockets and some healing rocks for peace & change for an altar.

chrysocolla, jaspers, dinosaur bone and miscellaneous assorted were recently picked up from
one collectors stock. The Wyoming Jade (Nephrite) is from three collectors - black, olive and
apple rough cut. There are tiffany stone slabs, moss agate, rough opals, obsidian apache tears,
moqui marbles, petrified woods, fossils, quartz, amethyst crystals, Michigan copper slate slabs -
all new. There is plenty of old stock recently rediscovered in barrels and storage. If you are a

Shop Updates

There is a new museum shop entrance way. 17 years in the making.
6 of the 54 signs needing paint were completed as of 3/13/20.

The New prayer flags are on-line, blowin' in the wind & weather

The shop has some new pallet tables. The falling over fence was given a re-
construction uplift to secure table for more rocks. "Can't have too many rocks."

The rough storage, hang out area, has some space now and given rise to
hidden treasures not seen in years; specimens that should be in the museum
shop or preferably, on your display shelves & cases.

The large cottonwood tree near the shop received a major entrance branch
chainsaw cutting. The state road shoulder is so clean that PARKING on it (instead
of Parking & Turnarounds on the Residential lawn) should not be a problem.
