Each is under 1 in diameter. These are great for jewelry making, crafts, or display. These Rose Rocks have defined petals to mimic a red rose flower.Oklahoma designated rose rock ( barite rose) as the official state rock in 1968. Rose rocks are found in only a few rare places around the globe.Each "petal" of a rose is a single crystal of barite, and what makes these barite crystals unusual is their round, disc-like shape. The best explanation to date is that the barite grew in the presence of organic compounds that stunted growth at the corners of crystals, leading to the rounded shape.Native American stories told us that these were rocks carved into flowers by our ancestors to let us know they were here before us.
