So I am at the Denver Museum of
Science & Nature and I'm in the mineral exhibit.
Look at this Rhodochrosite! This is the whole wall
of a cave! You can see they
made this really neat little cave exhibit and I'm inside of the cave.
This whole wall is meant to recreate a
specific pocket of Rhodochrosite crystals
found here in Colorado. And this is
just absolutely amazing. The scale of these crystals -
I wish I could show you. Here's my hand, which is about a foot in front of these crystals.
Look how big these crystals are - and how intensely
pink. So it's a little dark in this cave display at the
museum but I just wanted you to be able to really
appreciate the scale of these crystals. I mean they're just huge. I'm
standing just about a foot in front of the display - there's a
glass pane here, but you can just see how amazing these crystals are.
