Desert Rose is a mineral formation that takes the shape of a rose.  It is made up of gypsum or baryte crystals that have been deposited in a circular pattern around sand grains.  Desert Roses  typically form in arid, desert regions where the evaporation of water leaves behind minerals.  They are found in arid regions around the world including The Sahara Desert, The Namib Desert, and The Mojave Desert.  The largest Desert Roses in the world are found in The Sahara Desert where they can grow up to several feet in diameter.
