My brother got a few in the middle east when he was there. Local kids pick them up to sell to tourists.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desert_rose_(crystal) Lots of them on etsy, https://www.etsy.com/listing/8647023...gaAj9aEALw_wcB Bigger more well defined ones are more.

To the earlier question as to how they are formed, this site speculates that "The roses formed when barite crystals precipitated from groundwater in the pore spaces between quartz sand grains within the Garber Sandstone. The roses reflect the shapes of the barite crystals, and hence they are cataloged as minerals."

Cool, my wife is a GG through GIA. Etsy was the first thing that came to her mind as well, but not sure how much of your monetization would get eaten up by shipping.
Maybe local schools would be interested, but probably not a for a financial exchange. How about local rock shops? How are your arts & crafts skills? Make a mirror bordered by roses? Those types of things might have social media appeal as well, and if you have thousands, helps move more of them.

The white one looks like a golf ball. They can be found anywhere hackers and duffers play.
