Description
"Indian Headdress" formation
-----
USA mountains are full of different caverns. Here is one of the beautiful finds from a Sitting Bull Crystal Caverns by Rapid City, South Dakota. The calcium precipitates, forming into boxy calcite crystals. This process takes hundreds of years. Some of the calcite had formed into a long sinuous ribbon on the cave wall. Iron stains created a dark contrast through the middle. Our guide told us this particular formation had been nicknamed "Indian Headdress" because of it's resemblance to Native American headwear from an earlier era. Although I see a strip of bacon when I look at it :-)
