The broken remains of an old stalagmite
Approximately 9 inches in diameter, this stub of an old stalagmite is photographed in ultra violet light. While composed mostly of calcite, mineral impurities change the colors of fluorescence as it grew. Seen at the edge of the cave trail in Cave of the Mounds, Wisconsin.
