[Ed. note: To the east of
San Andres Peak, in the
valley between the San
Andres Mountains and
the gypsum dunes of
White Sands National
Park, is Lake Lucero.
During the dry season,
selenite crystals, like
those to the right, form
in the lake bed and
seem to erupt upward.
Selenite is the source of
the gypsum of the
White Sands dunes.]
