I am seeing what seems to be a large growth in the increase of cave formations for sell on E-bay. If you search cave formations on E-bay, you will see many for sell.
It appears that the majority of these are from caves of Mexico. Unfortunately our caver conservation laws have no jurisdiction here. I wish our politicians could encourage places like this to preserve their caves as we have. It's sickening to think that these formations will soon become a book holder or a decoration in someone's house. Even more sad that huge cave crystals among other beautiful and rare formations are going as low as 10 and 20 dollars and are now forever gone.
Just my rant for the day.
