Crystal Mountain

Description

Crystal  Mountain stands in the very edge of the White Desert  and is regarded as a  must seen tourist attraction for tourists. A small natural arch in the rock and the glittering calcite crystal walls make it a perfect place to pose for photos.

This is what geologists call an exhumed cave, a cave-complete with stalagmites and stalactites- that has been thrust upwards by earth movement and, with time, has lost its roof to erosion and has almost weathered away. The calcite crystal developed in paleo caves of Khoman chalk.
