PHYSICAL: Desert Rose is a unique formation of gypsum, which has been formed into a layered rosette shape formed by many blades. Gypsum is the sulfate mineral which results from evaporation of ancient lakes and riverbeds--varieties include selenite, alabaster, and satin spar. They may be found in multiple localities around the world, including abundantly in Morocco. Like all gypsum varieties, this material is soft and fragile, and will dissolve in water if left over time.
METAPHYSICAL/CULTURAL: Gypsum is associated with serenity, calm, and angelic connections.
