DESERT ROSE PROPERTIES:
'Desert Rose' is the colloquial name given to rosette formation of the mineral gypsum (selenite). Gypsum is formed as an evaporative mineral, frequently found in alkaline lake muds, clay beds, evaporated seas, salt flats, salt springs, and caves. The rosette crystal habit tends to occur when the crystals form in arid sandy conditions, such as the evaporation of a shallow salt basin. Selenite crystals can be transparent, translucent (most often satin spar but also selenite and gypsum flowers), and opaque (most often the rosettes and flowers).
