The cave has a

with the length of 5.40m, the longest straw to be found in any tourist cave.
But the cave is famous for its variety of cave decorations including

The discovery of fossils, Tasmanian Tiger (Thyiacine) dated at 25,000 BP, make the Jewel an important site for research.
The cave has recently undergone an intensive cleaning and restoration program.
