Rare Earth Gallery
USA, Phoenix, AZ
In a world filled with noise and artificiality, Wayne Helfand knew there was something profoundly grounding about the natural artistry of crystals, minerals and gemstones.
Main Services
Many people want a connection to nature’s beauty inside their homes, but what Wayne had in mind wasn’t readily available—at least not on the epic scale he envisioned back in 2012. He aspired to create a place where individuals could immerse themselves in the many wonders of the Earth—an unforgettable must see Arizona experience that would educate, inspire and transform lives.
A former opal miner, Wayne’s journey began with a deep appreciation for the natural world; he believed that nature’s beauty could help bring joy, much like it had to his. His vision was to create Rare Earth Gallery—a special destination in Cave Creek AZ founded in 2013, that blends the allure of a natural history museum, a rock art gallery, a crystal home decoration wonderland, an outdoor fountain store, a crystal sound bowl center and a gemstone jewelry store — all under one roof.
“What can I say? I have eclectic tastes … either that or attention deficit disorder!” jokes Wayne, who lives just north of Phoenix in Cave Creek with his family and beloved Gallery dog Bella. “But seriously, what all of the items we offer have in common is a connection to Mother Nature’s handiwork—every example of gemstone art, crystal home decor or gemstone jewelry; each natural stone fountain, sound healing instrument or garden statue falls under that bailiwick.”
Whether a visitor seeks to acquire a 10-ton “Earth Keeper” quartz crystal for their space or a pair of dazzling amethyst geode towers, an elegant gemstone necklace or a big outdoor fountain, Rare Earth Gallery ensures a seamless process that places 100% customer satisfaction as its top priority. With every facet of the Gallery finely crafted to enhance a customer’s experience, Wayne and his friendly team provide ‘white-glove’ service from selection to delivery and installation of unique crystal home decoration, outdoor yard art and backyard water fountains.
And the results speak for themselves. With more than 1,000 5-star Google reviews and counting, it’s apparent that visitors to Rare Earth Gallery’s 10,000-square-foot showroom and its online store appreciate what Wayne and his team have meticulously curated.
Wayne encourages locals, tourists and online visitors alike to surround themselves with nature’s beauty—whether it’s a small gemstone pendant or a living room statement piece of art. Customers who do leave with more than just a purchase; they gain a respect for natural art that transforms their spaces and elevates their lives.
“The creation and appreciation of art—and especially nature’s art—is one of the ways we justify our existence on this planet,” says Wayne. “Art is vital to a joyful human experience, and too often it happens on the periphery, not the center of our lives. That should change—we should strive to make that more possible.”
