We are ONE... this is a new age and mystical blog.

Already mentioned Luray Caverns in Virginia are full of celebrated speleothems formations, calcite crystals of abnormal shapes - all formed when the chambers were completely filled with water, highly charged with acid. The acid began to eat away the softer material, resulting in ornate pinnacles and arches...
Largest Cave Systems We mentioned the Jeita Grotto - the largest cave system in the Middle East- in our recent Lebanon article. The longest known stalactite in the world is found there at 8.2 meters long. - The deepest known cave is Voronya Cave in Abkhazia, Georgia and has been explored to a depth of 2191 meters. - The longest continuous cave system yet explored is Mammoth Cave in Kentucky, covering 591 kilometers.
