This beautiful desert rose comes from Algeria. They are made of gypsum and sand, so something you are a little careful with. They are mostly found near salt lakes and carry their name because of their 'rosy' appearance. The crystal shape of Gypsum is prismatic or bladed. Often they grow together, which really gives beautiful shapes. Fantastic when you want to give someone a present without polluting the earth but admiring its capabilities. Approximately 20x14x15cm.
