Natural gypsum crystallization can also be very spectacular (as in Lechuguilla Cave/Carlsbad Caverns National Park).

Indeed!

Unfortunately when I was mapping in Lech (for the NPS) I wasn't in the portion of the cave with the awesome gypsum swords.

Also, I never took camera gear into any caves for several reasons:

  1. My cave pack was always poorly treated while I was underground and
  2. I had a friend who took the most awesome photographs by conscripting others as Sherpas to lug in lights, batteries and other needed photo gear.
