Something interesting in this slide show video, is that they mention that "large wavelength crystal vibrations are routinely measured by infrared 6 raman (whatever that is) spectroscopy"

heres another actual video,.

i had to do a little bit of Raman spectroscopy at university...well do a scientific review of a few papers that used it as a technique anyway...from what i remember it's when you use a laser of a set frequency on the molecules of the crystal and depending on how they vibrate then it shifts the energy of the laser up or down and this change gives info on the molecules structure
i guess they'll be looking for changes in structure to monitor deterioration or something like that
oh...and the video is amazing...really shows the heat and humidity

Thanks for the Raman spectroscopy explanation, sounds very interesting better do some reading up on that. Maybe there´llbe crystal chips in computers some time, like in some movies. If theres a way to control the crystals vibrations.

Maybe the term, "You rock, dude!" or "This movie rocks!" will evolve into "You crystal, dude!" or "This movie crystals!" Because obviously crystals are way better than rocks now.
I think the phrase "it rocks" comes form the music scene, ie rock music. But cool idea, "oh that crystals" 😆

I knew that, but I was just sayin'. 👇

I get that it's hot, so they need to wear suits, but what I don't get is why is it so hot down there?
The crystals, formed during the millenia from hydrothermal fluids so
the only explanation I can think of is that the cave must be close to some heat source, magma for example, like some hot springs, geysers and all that. ANd the cave might act as an oven of some sort.
the deeper you go into the earth the hotter it gets.

Naica is amazing too...formed in the same way i believe...from liquid sulphuric acid rivers that carved out the caves leaving behind air saturated with sulphur so that giant gypsum crystals could grow
wow...this sounds familiar...that'd be because it's exactly what i wrote in the 1st page...only this time a blatent attempt to draw attention to the spam links in the fake member's signature
i really wonder why i bother keep reporting these fake members and the spam links because nothing ever seems to get done about it

I totally agree, wherever I go on holiday I always get a map and look for caves, any amazing ones in oZ?
There was a few we went to a few years ago in the Mt Gambier Region in SA. They were very cool.
IMO this onewould almost qualify as a new natural wonder of the world. Just looking at the video, it strikes me as nearly supernatural.

I'd like to know what that implies. What are large wavelength crystal vibrations? Also, the phrase 'There are more to crystals than you think' which they failed to elaborate, or dull down for those of us that are not familiar with geology, physics, and whatever other study this falls under. If anyone can explain in layman's terms what this means I would appreciate it.
