It looks carved, but every petal of a desert rose grew that way naturally. These clusters of gypsum rosettes formed in dry, sandy desert basins, trapping grains of sand inside each blade.
Their earthy, sculptural shape suits boho, desert and minimalist decor alike, and they look striking on a bookshelf or coffee table. A desert rose makes a meaningful gift for someone who has come through a hard season, since it is a symbol of thriving in tough conditions.
Each numbered option is pictured on its own, so the piece you see is the piece you receive. Clusters measure about 4 to 8.25 inches long, 3 to 5.75 inches wide and 3 to 4.25 inches tall. Smaller options suit a desk, while the largest make a centerpiece.
About Desert Rose
Desert rose is a rosette of gypsum or baryte crystals that includes sand grains. It forms in arid, sandy places such as evaporating shallow salt basins, where crystals grow in flat blades that cluster into petal shapes.
Stone Meaning: Desert rose is traditionally associated with resilience.
