Original – Desert 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.

• Support - great detail. If anyone is seriously bothered by the crop it could be easily edited to add a little more black within the FP rules. TSP (talk) 17:51, 27 December 2020 (UTC)
