。。。You wait in line here. You can see the Gemstone Mining. Sifting through the dirt and rock, like early miners did, you may discover sparkling emeralds, dazzling rubies, and other assorted gemstones.
。。。Stalagmites are formed by water dripping from the ceiling. When the drop lands, calcite is deposited and a stalagmite grows upward.
。。。Stalactites, a most common cave formation, they grow downward until touching the cave floor. When the drop lands, calcite is deposited and a stalagmite grows upward.
。。。Cave popcorn or cave coral, this formation can be found in many sizes, shapes, and colors.
。。。Helictites are small, twisted formations that project from cave ceilings, walls, and even the floor. They grow erratically and defy the laws of gravity。
。。。Draperies are when water entering a cave flows down a sloping ceiling, it deposits calcite in thin, translucent sheets that hang in delicate folds like draperies. Minerals provide color.
。。。Rimstone dams are formed as water flows over an edge, calcite deposits around the edge of the dam.
