AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Spiritual; symbolic meaning: The desert or sand rose (also gypsum rose), baryte stands for endurance, hope, purity. It is a symbol that beauty and life itself flourish even in the harshest environments. As a healing stone, the "rose" is said to bring inner calm and dissolve mental blockages. It is said to stimulate creativity and provide mental stability. In the living room this is used as decoration to protect against negative influences and against electromagnetic pollution, thereby contributing to a calming room atmosphere.
The weight is about: 17 kg and the dimensions (which are difficult to determine due to the natural shape) are approximately as the largest units: height about 26 X width 40 X depth t: cm. The specifications depend on the chosen measuring points, which is why I can only state them as approximate.
The former owner told me that she brought the sand rose from a trip to Morocco in the 1970s as a travel souvenir.
The condition is to be described as very good for a "sand rose of such enormous size." In relation to the size there are only smaller spots where the object was bumped; you can see these spots in the pictures.
