Crystal CavesBY KIDD DECKER
Back Ground Crystal Caves is one of the biggest natural
attractions in the world and is located in Pennsylvania in Kutztown .
It first opened in 1871 and has just more than a cave it has more things to do that is fun for the whole family.
Later in the PowerPoint I will tell you all the other attractions in crystal caves.
HistoryOn November 12, 1871 William Merkel and
his assistant John Gehert were taking TNT and blowing up pieces of limestone for Williams parents farm.
Well they blasted a huge hole in the side of a cave and then they rounded up some neighbors and they got ropes and lights and torches and ladders. Then they had discovered its crystals.
Activities You get to go into Crystal Caves but first
they show you a 10 minute video of the history of the cave.
Then you can also go to a water stream were you can maybe get some shavings of the crystals or rock formation.
You also get to go mini golfing and they have a restaurant there if you get hungry and a mineral shop for souvenirs.

My News Paper
Book Back Ground My book talks about mostly how they form
and were you can find them usually. So I just broke it down and I also so put what rock formation are in the cave and mostly.
They don’t really talk about crystal caves that much but I would recommend because they tell you a lot of rock formations.
Plus if you are doing a project on rock formations this is the book for you.
Rock FormationsThey are made shining dazzling display of
pure beautiful attractions. They are made of drops of water clinching together like a magnet then they freeze and don’t stop.
Real crystals it starts as a minerals and then a bunch of these things called nucleations and they go on the top of crystals and then they build up and get bigger and so forth.
