About Barite Desert Rose

Desert rose is a rosette of gypsum or barite crystals that includes sand grains, forming in arid, sandy places. Barite is barium sulfate, unusually heavy for a nonmetallic mineral, with a name from the Greek for heavy. It is soft, with a hardness of 2.5 to 3.5.

Stone Meaning: Desert rose is traditionally associated with resilience.
