These are actually mineral crystals formed naturally by the earth. Can't remember the name of the mineral, but remembered owning one. Found it in my fourth grade rock collection in a sewing chest in the basement. Picture to follow.
Maybe a geologist among us can identify this mineral............
Just looked those up amwldcoin. Not going to be the same. I have some rose rocks from Oklahoma that matches the pic of the Barite desert rose. The mineral in the OP is not the same. Anyone else?

Yeah I thought about it after I posted and you are correct! It's been almost 40 years since I messed around with rocks and minerals.
