The kids were over yesterday and they just can't resist picking things up and asking about them - gives me heart palpitations sometimes 'cos neither of them are particularly gentle and my nick-nack shelf is not kid proof (mind you, nor is the rest of the house!). Anyway, they were both curious about this one and it reminded me of a lovely holiday we had in Tunisia one year so I thought I would immortalise it in pixel form :)
It's called a Sand Rose but I'm not sure how it's formed but it's sand based and crystalline so I guess that's why it's found in desert regions.
