Pretty stuff, a little on the pricey side. Store does has an unfavorable smell, and they don't do returns, just exchanges.

I had been carrying around a baggie of broken, but beloved, delicate and inexpensive necklaces. I stopped by on the off-chance an employee could repair these necklaces for me, and they did! They were enthusiastic and inventive, and I'm happy with the results. (Maybe you guys deserve a tip jar for your work? I felt like I was walking off with a steal. What a good price!) I don't make necklaces myself (obvi), but I recommend Rare Earth. The store is fun to browse even as a non-crafter/maker, and in a good location if you want to also grab a coffee and browse books at the places next door. Rare Earth has a lot of fun fossils and crystals to look at, too.

Cashier was very kind, helpful and knowledgable! I found exactly what I needed. The products are so beautiful and I always look forward to returning! They also sell my favorite types of incense at a very affordable price which I greatly appreciate.

If you want just beads and jewelry DIY supplies, their stock is limited-- go to Firefly in Carrboro. If you want big chunks of gemstones for display, this is the place. The staff were very nice.

I love this place! Awesome service. You can be left alone to browse or if you want guidance or have questions, they are ther to help and share their love of gems. I've spent a couple hours at a time there and they were happy to let me comb through last chance bin at my slow pace. I love the quality and value. It's one of my happy places!

Love this store & love the deals. The girl who is usually working is super knowledgeable and friendly every time I come in (which is a lot). Also much more fairly priced than other crystal stores in the area while also selling jewelry making supplies that I don’t find anywhere else! Attached is a necklace I made all with materials from rare earth beads.

I've been going to Rare Earth Beads for years. One of the best stores for gem stones, variety and quality, in the area. I also got some of the traditional African beads there.They no longer do classes I think because of covid but they do give advice and help as much as possible.

If visited the store today and the lady was very helpful and friendly. I will go back one day if I really need something. The drive is about 40 minutes but worth it considering there are not the many bead stores. You just have to shop online. I'm touchy person and looking me to see my stuff I'm purchasing.
