History

Description

瑞晶石花洞 (Ruì jīng shíhuā dòng, Ruijing Stone Flower Cave) or simply 瑞晶洞 (Ruijingdong, Ruijing Cave) developed in 500 million years old Cambrian dolomitic limestone. The cave entrance faces south, followed by a huge 460 m long passage which is 35 to 50 m wide and up to 57 m high. The cave is famous for its multiple "Stone Flowers", which are actually aragonite crystals. It’s always a little difficult to find out what they dub "flower", as they tend to use this name quite frequently for any speleothem which resembles any possible flower.
