The Selenite Desert Rose has many different names, such as Sand Rose, Rose Rock, Selenite Rose, Gypsum Rose, and Gypsum Rosettes.

The energy of the Desert Rose is very gentle & it teaches one that life is worth all of its ups & downs. It not only helps to access past lives, it also helps one to access future lives! Glimpses of what is to come so that one may make appropriate choices for the here and now. It's a wonderful stone for intuitive work because it quiets the mind so that worries & other distractions do not interfere with the work. Also, it clarifies visions so that one may interpret the messages in a flowing way, letting that which does not resonate easily sift away. This is the energy of sand, to flow with the wind & create landscapes that are half illusion. Sand has the ability to hold weight and can be comforting and grounding unless one is fearful and movement becomes panicked, in which case the sand will give way. When one stands firm & steady in trust, the sand may shift but will not collapse.
