Description

Desert rose is a lovely form of gypsum that often forms delicate rosettes. They are an eye-catching way to add a touch of the desert to your living space. Which piece is your favorite?

We have a beautiful lot of 5 different rosettes which also have some UV reactivity. Each piece is sold separately and they are randomly chosen. While they are not technically WYSIWYGs (what you see is that you get), you will receive a piece from this exact lot. Yet, at this low price, you might want to take them all!

Size: Approx. 1″, 4.15-8.85g

With these desert roses, we have a fun décor idea—crystal grids. You may have heard of them before, but outside of the realm of décor. You can make impressive displays filled with color and wonder. We encourage you get creative with your gemstones. Crystal grids are a great way to do that and raw pieces are great for the centerpiece. These little babies would make a great centerpiece in a smaller crystal grid. Try it out and let us know what you think!

Desert Roses and UV Reactivity

Desert rose gypsum typically does not fluoresce under ultraviolet (UV) light. While there may be exceptions with certain specimens containing trace elements that cause fluorescence, the majority of desert rose gypsum specimens do not exhibit this property. The lack of fluorescence in desert rose gypsum is due to its mineral composition and the absence of specific trace elements that would cause it to glow under UV light. Therefore, it is more common for desert rose gypsum to not fluoresce, although there may be some rare instances where certain specimens do exhibit fluorescence.

Please Note:

  1. Sizes and weights are approximate. Dimension sizes can vary based on the way the rock is formed. We hand measure our pieces on the longest side. Please see the pictures in the listing.
  2. The colors may vary due to monitor and lighting differences.
  3. Please use your own judgment when allowing children to handle.
  4. Not suggested for use in animal habitats or fish tanks.
  5. UV Notes: For gemstones, 365nm is the best for UV lighting. Only some specimens illuminate under the other part of this spectrum (370-400nm). This is why some pictures are not as clear for our UV reactive pieces. Our current lights are at 395nm. For home use, the 395nm is less expensive, but in some cases, will need a zoomed beam on the flashlight style UV lights. If you do use a 365nm light, please take care to use eye protection.
