Petrified Roses, or (Rose Rocks) as they are known locally, are the official state rock of OK, they are found in a band from KS, to TX, but the better ones are found near Noble
OK, they have a Rose Rock festival each year. (central ok)
Their description is, (Aggregates or clusters of tabular
crystals of barite, which forms in sandstones, enclosing the
sandy matrix within the crystals).
Local legend says they are tears of the Cherokees, when they
came over the (Trail of Tears)
We have been there a couple of times, on buying, & hunting,
trips, but it helps to know some local folks.
