{"title":"Desert Rose","description":"\u003cp\u003eDesert Rose Selenite is most commonly composed of the minerals Gypsum (Selenite) and Barite. They have a rosette shape that is caused by wind, sand and other particles becoming embedded into its surface while it was forming. Each Desert Rose is said to hold a Spirit Guardian unique to the stone providing protection and guidance. Desert Rose Selenite is linked to the Root and Crown Chakras helping to keep us grounded and protected from negative energy, as well as purifying our own energy. It gently teaches us that the ups and downs of life are what make life worth living and to not dwell too much on any of them, but live in the present moment. Use each experience as a tool to grow and develop as a person. When used during meditation, Desert Rose Selenite quiets our mind and removes our worries and anxieties, allowing us to see glimpses of the future helping our decision-making.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesert Rose Selenite is commonly found in most deserts around the world in countries such as Mexico, Morocco, Saudi Arabia, Australia, Tunisia, and Afghanistan. There is a particular type of Desert Rose Selenite found only in Oklahoma that formed around 250 million years ago when a shallow sea covered the current state (it’s locally called “Gerber Sandstone”). Most specimens are very fragile and should be held with great caution!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is also an excellent meditation stone. It will guide you in connecting to your higher self and reaching a deeper meditative state. This stone is a very strong activator of your third eye, and it will help bring your clairvoyant gifts to the fore. The energies of this stone will also strengthen your natural intuition. It will enhance your dreams and your past life recall. It will also raise your vibrations so that you will experience white light and work with your guardian angels! This stone will help open and clean your upper chakras and restore the balance that you may have lost.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesert Rose is fantastic for strengthening your intuition. It helps you access your psychic abilities and is known to open and nourish the third eye. This can be an extremely powerful stone for dabbling in the art of clairvoyance. Similarly, it’s said to bring back past life memories and enhance dream recall. With all these benefits, you’ll feel a natural boost in your creativity and be able to find new outlets to express yourself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach Desert Rose stone is believed to contain its guardian spirit, so they’re more than suited to the role of a protective charm. You can place one in your home to keep it energetically secure. It helps to relax timid souls and subtly boosts your confidence if you’re feeling low. Release inhibitions, and find the freedom to discover and hone new talents. It promotes perseverance above all else when it comes to success.
