Stalactites and Stalagmites

We went on a family "fieldtrip" to Luray Caverns. They are the largest caves in VA. It was AMAZING to see the spectacular mineral formations hidden underground. You'd never suspect that driving through the sleepy town of Luray such magnificence is lurking just beneath the surface of the mountain.


Some curious geniuses discovered that each stalactite (those mineral icicle thingees on the ceiling) produces it's own unique tone when struck with a mallet. They then decided to construct an organ out of them. Here's the video where you can hear the song playing... Those are ROCKS! SINGING! Gives new meaning to "even the rocks will cry out."
