It is said that Crystal Cave Park is one of America's most beautiful
caverns.
Everyone has to decide this for himself, but a statistical fact is that crystals
line 80% of the walls and ceiling of this cave.
They are also called
dogtooth spar.
The cave also has
popcorn calcite
and
boxwork,
and of course some stalactites and stalagmites.
