The “Dolomite into Aragonite” geology science project (aka
the “Popcorn Rock Adventure”) is now in its fourth day, and it’s beginning to
show results. See?
There be crystals! They’re starting to form at the peak of
the mountain, where about a half-inch of the rock has emerged from the Vinegar
Lake. And it looks as though there are more just itching to burst forth when
the lake evaporates even further.
Nobody pauses very long at the back door now. Hanging around
there can be hazardous to one’s decorum. One whiff of the strong evaporating
vinegar and the coughing and sneezing begin.
But hey! Nobody said discovery is painless, right?
