This was just the coolest thing I have ever seen. I'd love to go there and see it in person.

Awesome Patty, thanks for sharing

Wow! I'd like to stumble onto a tourmaline pocket like that.

That was great hypatia, thanks! I don't think I'll visit, they've cooled the cave down to 122 F from 136F. The crystals need the high temps to survive.

But Evo, we could use the sisterhood coolant suits!

The new bulletproof coolant suits are deafeningly loud in operation and can only be used in conjunction with the cone of silence. Hardly a portable set-up.

Darned compressors! I'll try to find quieter ones that don't weight 50# each.

Wow, just goes to show the importance of scale in these pictures, if that man wasn't there I'd think I were looking down a microscope. Or maybe that man is a really small midget.
