AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Wonderful piece of desert rose. It is an evaporitic sedimentary rock that gets its name because its crystals cluster into shapes that resemble flower petals. It displays a very well-defined multi-rose formation. The lenticular crystals (lens-shaped) cross each other clearly, creating that petals-of-a-flower look.
It is a piece of considerable size and visually balanced, mounted on a light stone rectangular base. It has a natural sandy tone, typical of pieces that retain desert sand grains in their structure. The surface has that rough and matte texture characteristic, giving it a very organic and authentic appearance.
It stands out for its geometric complexity and excellent state of conservation.
Weighs around 850 g, a total of 1350 g with the pedestal. Measures 17 x 10 x 8 cm
