RARE UK Sand Rose Crystal | Herne Bay Desert Rose | British Gypsum Rosette | With Certificate | Actual Specimen

RARE UK Sand Rose Crystal | Herne Bay Desert Rose | British Gypsum Rosette | With Certificate | Actual Specimen

Original price was: £18.00.Current price is: £16.20.

This RARE Sand Rose (Desert Rose) crystal was collected from Herne Bay, Kent, UK, a highly unusual locality for such formations. Sand Roses are naturally occurring crystal clusters composed of gypsum and sand, forming rosette-shaped structures through the evaporation of mineral-rich waters in arid or coastal sedimentary environments. This British specimen is particularly unique due to its limited occurrence and well-preserved form.

You will receive the exact specimen shown in the photographs, with a 1cm scale cube included to provide accurate size reference. Please see the full photo gallery for details and sizing.

Geological Information:

Sand Roses—also known as Desert Roses—are composed of the mineral gypsum (CaSO₄·2H₂O) or sometimes barite, intergrown with sand grains. They form in evaporite conditions, typically where shallow basins experience high evaporation and leave behind sulfate-rich deposits. While most commonly associated with arid regions like the Sahara or southwestern USA, rare occurrences like this UK Desert Rose from Herne Bay represent a special geological environment of coastal marine evaporation over sediment beds.

Crystal Type:

  • Species: Gypsum (Calcium Sulfate Dihydrate) with Sand
  • Type: Sand Rose / Desert Rose Formation
  • Formation Environment: Evaporitic basins with high mineral saturation and aeolian sand

Metaphysical Properties:

Sand Roses are said to embody clarity, grounding, and ancient Earth energy. Often used in meditation and spiritual practice, they are associated with the Crown and Root Chakras, enhancing spiritual awareness while maintaining energetic grounding. The unique rose-like structure symbolises natural beauty and resilience.
