You will receive THREE rose rocks a little bigger than 1 inch but probably not bigger than 2 inches across. I, or one of my minions, collected these from Cleveland County. They are clean, having been washed and scrubbed, and are pretty good specimens.

Some are better than others, but they are all considered okay by collectors. These are not museum specimen grade because those all "grow" on private property and I can't collect there.

PLEASE NOTE that they are not going to be palm-sized as depicted in two of these photos. I just thought their dirty faces were pretty funny. ;)

I would match this stone with the Hanged Man in the Tarot.

I live fairly close to Noble, Oklahoma, the only place these unique structures are formed. Every now and then I go and dig up a bucket or two, getting covered by red sand in the process.

Barite roses are an evaporite, formed when the Permian sea was drying up a bazillian years ago. Large ponds of barite and iron-rich sand interacted to form the crystals which grow in this rose-like formation. Barium crystals are usually square, but the iron creates a charge that keeps the end from squaring off, making it round instead. I could get more scientific about it but if you are interested in these, there's plenty of info online.

Metaphysical properties: rose rocks govern the root chakra and the digestive system. They are full of iron and that means energy. These are neat to hold and play with.

Very useful for attraction spells because of the iron, to attract anything from energy to money to people.

They can also help you "see" things you normally wouldn't be able to (because barium is used in X-rays), so they would be good for spells designed to reveal hidden things and for psychic development. You can also hold them while meditating on something that just isn't quite coming into focus.

About 40 years ago someone who had a rose rock "ranch" made up a story about Indian warriors going off to battle and getting killed, and their tears fell to earth and formed rose rocks. Therefore, the magickkkk property of rose rocks is strength and love.

This was a cheezy marketing ploy designed to attract new agers and is not historically accurate, so we like our meaning better.
