Gypsum Desert Rose Mineral Specimens
Gypsum is a hydrated calcium sulfate. It is an evaporite mineral, forming when shallow sea basins or salt lakes begin to dry until crystals of gypsum come out of solution. Two varieties of gypsum are contained on this page. The more transparent, bladed crystals are the selenite variety, out of Mexico. The reddish color, rosette-shaped gypsum with the sand grains are desert roses from Oklahoma.
