Desert Roses in the form of very beautiful crystals that resemble the shape of a flower, hence the name rose.
The desert rose is a formation of gypsum or baryte crystals where abundant grains of sand are generally included. The crystals of this rock are formed by the evaporation of water.
The rock includes a label with the name and origin and is glued in a cardboard box 4 cm square.

Since the rocks are natural, you will receive a piece similar to the one in the photograph. The samples come in cardboard boxes and are glued to a porex base with hot silicone; these can be removed using ethyl alcohol without damaging the mineral. The size is approximate.
