A desert rose is an intricate rose-like formation of crystal clusters of gypsum or baryte which include abundant sand grains. The 'petals' are crystals flattened on the c axis, fanning open in radiating clusters. ... The crystals form a circular array of flat plates, giving the rock a shape similar to a rose blossom.
Each cluster is said to contain a unique spirit guardian. They have traditionally been used as talismans for protection, overcoming phobias and to help boost self-confidence.
