- It came from the bottom of the ocean!
- It's got magnesium in it!
- Not an Agate! That's just a trade name!
- Comes in purple, green, red, black and gray!
Desert Rose!
These are usually rather small, and don't come in big clumps like this, I'm amazed not only that this exists, but that I was able to find it and have it for myself!!!
- It came from a desert!
- It's formed when it rains in arid deserts!
- Desert Rose is just a trade name!
- Each one is made of different minerals!
