Sometimes Selenite (Gypsum) forms bladed crystal clusters in a rosette shape, creating a “rose”-like formation. These crystals also form in sandy, desert areas, trapping sand inside the crystals that create a brown hue, thus the name Selenite Desert Rose. This particular piece is a well formed, translucent Selenite Desert Rose from Chihuahua, Mexico. In great condition for this particular formation of Selenite.
