During mining operations in Bisbee, Arizona, hundreds of natural caves came to light, formed through the oxidation of mineral deposits. Inside many of these caverns, stunning speleothems—stalactites, stalagmites, and other elaborate formations—were found, brilliantly colored in shades of blue and green from the presence of abundant copper. This unique environment also gave rise to the formation of rare and unusual mineral species.
