I have quartz crystals under my mattress and I keep some in my water pitcher, too. (I am certified crystal healer.) I dream about finding huge, beautifull crystals. -So, I am your girl, Bryan!

    What a great day you and Dylan had and the other Diggers with their sports lol. Terry said as I dislike mud that's not the place for me lol but the crystals look so lovely when they are clean I think I wouldn't have worried when I was younger plus the gloves would keep my hands relatively clean lol. I totally agree that people should refill their holes, it's a beautiful place and the holes dont take long to fill, unless of course they are either not thinking or just plain lazy. I was surprised how thick some of the crystals are and the pieces that are joined, my favourite was the one that looks like a plane, I would keep that one Bryan and add it to your collection. Take care and stay safe please my friends God bless you all love and hugs to you Matrix and Dylan Mary-Ellen UK

      So, there is a table of evaporate minerals and the amount of seawater it takes before minerals precipitate out. Table salt fairly easily precipitates with very little water evaporated. Gypsum takes significantly more and limestone takes the most. Look for an evaporation table online

    Hmmm i thought selenite is deep in the Cave. Maybe black and white tourmaline . selenite is Milky and needlelike feldsparpar. Usually you find them with Kyanite . selenite and kyanite are blades. That looks more like Tibetan Quartz with mica. Especially in Brazil
