AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Sand selenite 'Desert Rose'
Medium-sized sample mounted on a decorative red wooden base, with gypsum crystals forming an irregular, faceted surface in the shape of a 'rose'.
Sand selenite forms through a geological process involving the evaporation of water containing mineral solutions. This mineral is mainly found in desert regions, where low humidity promotes water evaporation and mineral concentration. The sand it is composed of can also contain other minerals, such as quartz, which contribute to its variety of colors and its structure.
The pink coloration is due to traces of iron and manganese oxides present in the sand.
The 'Rosa del deserto' is highly valued as an ornamental and collectible stone due to its beauty and unique aesthetic properties.
It is believed that this stone promotes calm, serenity, and spiritual connection.
