OriginalDesert rose gypsum crystal, specimen size: 47 × 33 cm (18 x 13 inches), from southern Tunisia.
Reason
An encyclopedic depiction of Desert rose (crystal), a rose-like formation of gypsum crystal. The crop is a bit tight but that seems to be a common feature of many such images. It's a sharp image and shows the details well.
