with fluted columns, ogees, cornices, and mouldings; and 
the entire surface displays innumerable crystals which 
sparkle on the approach of light like countless diamonds. 
We scarcely have any hesitation in saying that this par- 
ticular point exhibits the most wonderfully beautiful 
formations of any to be found elsewhere; and this view, 
of itself, will more than repay the visitor for the time 
occupied in exploring Diamond Cave. 
To the left of the Column is a collection of water called 
the Fountain of Orpheus. Bunker Hill Monument is a 
stalactite six feet high and six inches in diameter. Coral 
Pillar is a stalagmite four feet high and four inches in 
diameter, the surface of which is studded with little 
prominences resembling madrepore coral. A number 
of columns, similarly incrusted, are to be seen under 
the base of Columbian Column. 
Eviscerated Body is to the left of the steps leading to 
Lover’s Bower. When light is transmitted through it, 
it is a perfect representation of the body of a man from 
which the lungs have been removed. 
Ameda Grotto has within it a pool of water lined with 
crystals, and encircled with stalagmitic formations. The 
stalactites in this grotto are of delicate form and of great 
variety. 
Lot’s Wife is a stalagmite four feet high, representing 
a figure draped in white. There is also to be found here 
an excellent representation of a Church Organ.
