Desert Rose

•  Also known as Sand rose, Sahara rose, Rose rock, Selenite rose, Gypsum rose and Baryte (barite) rose.
• The rose-like (rosette) crystals are crystal clusters of gypsum or baryte, which include abundant sand grains
• The rosette crystals form in arid sandy conditions (an area that has excessive heat and inadequate, variable precipitation, like the evaporation of a shallow salt basin)
