ABSTRACT
Huntite flowstone has recently been discovered in Carlsbad Caverns. This flowstone occurs as a thin, white layer of microcrystals (approximately 1 to 60 micrometers in diameter) which appears buckled and crinkled. The huntite is believed to be precipitating directly from magnesium-rich solutions rather than forming by alteration of preexisting minerals.
