A structure called "The Devil's Tongue", we were told that the artificial lighting accounted for any green algal growth. However, I'm uncertain as to the source of the blue/purple hue. Whether it occurs as a result of camera flash or a mineral other than calcium carbonate being deposited I don't know.

This is the first of a set of three related photos showing interesting flowstone (calcium carbonate - precipitated out of solution) deposits. I'm sorry for the lack of anything approaching a scale in these pics by the way, I'm too slow-witted...
