RE: Balneology: the study of bathing in water; Recrystallization of alkali mineral salts collected from a secret hot spring
Haha! You should definitely get her involved in this new field!
I've only been to a handful of springs, and it does not seem to be very common. I'm wondering myself if it is more common at desert hot springs though? I've only been to one desert hot spring - well, two technically, but the other was in a forest grove in a desert.
That might be the case. As it's mineral precipitation, and desert soil is almost purely mineral. Wonder if that's a consideration...
Sorry, thought I resteemed this post sooner, but I did just now :)
