Timberlake Rose Rock Museum

The beauty of God's wonder abounds in the state of Oklahoma. From the selenite of the northwest, the barite rose rock of the central part of the state, to the southeastern quartz crystals, collectors seek these hidden treasures. Rose rocks are sought after and prized worldwide because of their beautiful rose-like appearance. Join us as we expound upon this unique creation.

The Rose Rock

Within the Garber sandstone,
A barite crystal grew,
The Oklahoma sand
Gave it a reddish hue.

Seawater bathed it; and,
As a flower grows,
God formed its shape
Into a lovely rose.
