It's beautiful - the masterpiece of nature! Oh yes, not anyone knows how to appreciate such good unique stuff! Some would say, it's just another piece of rock!
From the wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desert_rose_(crystal): It's a crystal!
Desert rose is the colloquial name given to rosette formations of the minerals gypsum and barite with poikilotopic sand inclusions. The 'petals' are crystals flattened on the c crystallographic axis, fanning open along characteristic gypsum cleavage planes.
As Sabrina has pointed out... none of the pictures in the wikipedia website look as beautiful as the one now lying at level 14! We are lucky!
Take a closer look...
