Speleothem decoration of giant domes in Bohemia Cave (New Zealand).

Original language description

Giant domes in Bohemia Cave contain a vast number of speleothem formations, 90% of which comprise aragonite, with hydromagnesite accumulation and coatings. The aragonite formations are very young, ranging between - 2390 and -2250 years, according to U-Thseries analyses. Aragonite appears in typical gravitational forms as well as in complex eccentric shapes. Calcite, microscopic dolomite, opal, Fe and Mn hydroxides, gypsum and sepiolite are all present in small amounts. The greatest concentrations of formation occur on and in the vicinity of the contact between underlying weakly weathered shales (phyllites) and overlying marbles. Bohemia Cave probably contains the largest know accumulation of cave aragonite in the world.
