text: Desert rose is the colloquial name given to rose-like formations of crystal clusters of gypsum or baryte which include abundant sand grains. The 'petals' are crystals flattened on the c crystallographic axis, fanning open in radiating flattened crystal clusters. The rosette crystal habit tends to occur when the crystals form in arid sandy conditions, such as the evaporation of a shallow salt basin. The crystals form a circular array of flat plates, giving the rock a shape similar to a rose blossom.
  According to metaphysics: Desert Rose has a powerful healing energy that can help alleviate emotional, mental, and physical imbalances. They are often used in energy healing practices, such as Reiki or crystal healing, to help restore balance and promote overall wellness.
