Most people who have been to Carlsbad Caverns are sure to recognize the type of rock formations in this souvenir from United States. The colors alone are sure to conjure up the feelings one felt when venturing deep into the underground and marveling at unique chemical compositions of rocks that only are only expressed after a long expanse of time has passed.

This leads to what makes this magnet quite appealing, and that is the use of lighting contrasts to highlight certain elements. One could say that there is a sense of mystery, discovery and, of course, wonder in this picture. You can't help but think of the differences that world turns out when you delve a little deeper than what is found on the surface.

The Mystery Room is just for those that are not easily frightened as a mysterious noise can be heard here.
