Description
It is a true natural work of art made of gypsum (hydrated calcium sulfate CaSO42H2O).
As they grow, the crystals are coated with grains of dune sand which give the rose its yellow-ochre to brown color.
With multiple and varied shapes, sand roses are highly sought-after decorative objects.
