Desert Roses, also known as Sand Roses, are formed from either Gypsum or Baryte mixed with sand inclusions that get lodged in during the evaporation process that forms the crystal. Each Desert Rose is said to contain its very own unique Spirit Guardian, and they have traditionally been used as protection talismans.
