The Aragona selenite gypsum flow, in the Mintini district near the Taccia-Caci mines, bears witness to a millennia-old geological process: Triassic deposits (approximately 250 million years ago), formed by evaporation in ancient brackish seas, emerged thanks to African-European tectonic movements. Crustal compression extruded the gypsum in a plastic form, which was then shaped by wind and water erosion into characteristic pinnacles and cracks.
