It is primarily a combination of gypsum and barite that forms in arid conditions, where the gypsum (specifically Selenite and Barite) crystallizes with abundant sand grains. While commonly called a desert rose, it can also be referred to as a gypsum rose, barite rose, selenite rose, sand rose, or rose rock. The color of Desert Rose varies from white to beige, brown, or red, influenced by the sand and impurities like iron oxides. While gypsum is the most common mineral for these formations, other evaporite minerals such as Barite and Celestite can also create similar structures, though Gypsum Roses tend to be lighter, more brittle, and have sharper crystal edges. PROPERTIES & BENEFITS: Desert Rose is a unique crystal formation that combines gypsum or barite with grains of sand. It is associated with clarity, mental purification, and self-confidence. Believed to quiet the mind and alleviate fear, anxiety, and doubt, this stone helps individuals move beyond outdated thought patterns, fostering fresh insights and mental clarity. Additionally, it enhances intuition during meditation, aids communication with higher consciousness, and is used to neutralize negative energy from both environments and individuals, transforming it into healing energy. Beyond its cleansing and protective qualities, Rose Gypsum amplifies self-worth and confidence, making it particularly beneficial for those who are shy or reserved. Its grounding and balancing nature provides stability during major life transitions, while some associate it with luck and prosperity in professional endeavors. To harness its benefits, one can use it in meditation by holding it or placing it on the third eye or crown chakra, cleanse spaces by placing it in areas needing purification, utilize it as a protective talisman, or hold it while setting intentions to enhance manifestation. Chakras: Crown, Third-Eye, Solar Plexus, Sacral, Root Element: Wind, Water, Earth Zodiac Signs: Taurus, Scorpio, Capricorn Vibration: 11 Mohs Scale: 1.5-2 CLEANSING AND CHARGING: Keep your crystal’s energy open and receptive to your intention with these effective energy clearing techniques: placing it under moonlight, sound baths, smudging, leaving it in the presence of other cleansing gems like selenite overnight, or leaving it in a bowl of salt. While salt water is harmful, dry salt is not. Without the presence of water, salt particles cannot enter the crevices of the stone. ____________________________________________ DISCLAIMER • Pictures are taken in natural light (sunlight, natural indoor light) and some artificial light to highlight the natural sparkle of the crystals.
