CHEROKEE ROSE LEGEND

In the 1800's, despite a decision in favor of the Cherokees by the Supreme Court, President Andrew Jackson ordered the removal of the Cherokees and other Indian Tribes from their Eastern Homelands to Oklahoma, a journey later referred to as the "TRAIL OF TEARS". About four thousand people   died along the way.

Indian folklore states that "god, looking down from heaven, decided to commemorate the courageous Cherokees, As the blood of the braves and the tears of the maidens fell to the ground, they were turned to stones in the shape of a rose". The Rose Rock is found in Oklahoma, the end of the journey. The State Flower of Georgia, the tribe’s eastern home, is the Cherokee Rose.



Official State Rock of Oklahoma: Rose Rock

Oklahoma rose stone was formed during the Permian Period, 250 million years ago, when western and central Oklahoma was covered by a shallow sea.  As the sea retreated, barite precipitated out of the water and crystallized around grains of quartz sand.  This left behind large formation of reddish sandstone, locally called Garber Sandstone, containing deposits of rose rock.
