Despite its rose petal like softness, Desert Rose is a stone that is thought to help you stand your ground and confront any hardship. It is believed to show you how to commit to a project with confidence despite the numerable obstacles. By staying focused on your outcome, you may manage challenges with a more optimistic attitude. Desert Rose may support you in your endeavours to realise your dream.
The Desert Rose Crystal is also referred to as the Sand Rose, Selenite Rose or Gypsum Rose. Found in dry, desert regions, each one is said to contain a unique spirit guardian. They have traditionally been used as talismans for protection, overcoming phobias and to help boost self confidence. Particularly helpful for shy or timid children and teens to help them uncover and confidently express their talents.
A variety of gypsum with a hardness of 1.5 - 2, these mineral roses are formed by the forces of wind, water and pressure in dry, arid regions due to the evaporation of a shallow salt basin. When sand particles become embedded in these basins, the loose sand is trapped in the minerals during the evaporation process and forms rosette-like concretions with unique flower-like crystal structures. Desert roses are found in the Sahara desert, the Southwest of the USA, Australia, Mexico and Spain.

Jewellery Warranty & Care
When crafted into jewellery, some crystals are more hardy than others.
For everyday wearers, we recommend crystals that fall in the Quartz family or have a Moh's hardness level of over 5.5-6.
Avoid excessive water exposure, especially in pools or the ocean and any harsh chemicals.
Delicate crystals like Amber, Moonstone, Opal, and iron-based meteorites need gentle handling due to potential discolouration or structural risks. These are best as occasion pieces.
Store safely, and clean with care.
Rest assured that our 1-year jewellery warranty covers any manufacturing defects.
With proper care, we expect your pieces to last many years to come.
In our 18 years of business, we still wear some treasures from our original collection! Learn more about our warranty and care guide here.
