FREE: OKLAHOMA ROSE ROCK

The listing, OKLAHOMA ROSE ROCK has ended.

The picture with the nickle not included is up for auction not the picture with the cluster. I put that picture on to show how they are formed and picture #3 is the rose you will recieve.
Oklahoma designated rose rock (barite rose) as the official state rock in 1968. These rocks were formed by barite rock crystals during the Permian Age and resemble blooming roses. They are found in only a few rare places around the globe. Barite Rose Rocks can be found in clusters with only two roses to as many as hundreds of roses (some clusters weigh hundreds of pounds). In Oklahoma, the distinctive red soil colors them in hues ranging from reddish brown to cinnamon - rose rocks are sought after and prized worldwide. An old Cherokee legend says the rocks represent the blood of the braves and the tears of the maidens who made the devastating "Trail of Tears" journey in the 1800's to Oklahoma. That was another history lesson for today. No more I promise.
