Hi Everyone,
Earlier in the blog George had pictures he found on the National Geographic website, I had a look at what the picture were of and they are called then “the Sistine Chapel of crystals.” The real Sistine Chapel is a very famous church in Rome, Italy. The cave was found by miners excavating a tunnel in 2000 but is an amazing find. It has some of the largest crystals ever found. The mystery was how the crystals grew so big! Geologists say it was because the crystals ‘thrived because they were submerged in mineral-rich water with a very narrow, stable temperature range—around 136 degrees Fahrenheit (58 degrees Celsius)’. Crystals need special environments to grow just like the crystals we made. To grow crystals need to not be disturbed just like on the instructions for our crystals we had to leave the container without moving it for a while.
