Desert Rose Application suggested uses:
- Desert Roses are fragile and should be handled with care. they work wonderfully sitting on a bedside table or in an area that would benefit from their calming vibration.
- A great stone to have around when dealing with self-confidence issues, particularly with teens or children. I would not suggest carrying it due to the softness of the stone however placed beside the bed or on a work desk is ideal.
- When working with dreams to understand them better and remove any fear or dealing with night terrors. They are the perfect stone and can be placed beside the bed or in a grid around the bed with stones like Selenite and Black Tourmaline.

Desert Rose History Mythology Information: American Indian Legend about Desert Rose – Indian Warriors, who had shifted from the physical to the spiritual world, returned at night and carved the Barite roses as a gift for their people. Desert Rose is a rosette-shaped concretion that is formed over time where inland ocean/seas evaporate and are grown as moisture is lost and the stone forms from the remaining materials. Please try and avoid wetting them as they can lose their shape and structure over time.
