Description
This stamp highlights an emblematic mineral curiosity of the Tunisian Sahara: the Sand Rose. The illustration shows a concretion of gypsum and sand with crystalline shapes reminiscent of the petals of a flower.
Formed by the evaporation of groundwater in arid areas, the sand rose is a symbol of the hidden beauty of the desert. This stamp highlights the natural heritage of southern Tunisia (region of Tozeur and Douz) and constitutes an essential souvenir of the Saharan geographical identity of the country.
