What is virgin cave or virgin cave passage?

A cave or part of a cave that has not been visited by people in "recorded history." For example, if a cave explorer finds what appears to be newly unexplored passage, but then happens upon a petroglyph or an arrowhead, then he or she could claim, they were in virgin passage. ( The petroglyph or tool may be of neanderthal origin, and would therefore, not count as human visitation. ) However, normally a virgin passage shows no sign of human visitation at all. If it could be proven that any footprints were hundreds of years old; then it would be noted by the discoverer that "the passage appeared to be virgin with the exception of footprints left by a native inhabitants of the region."

How many caves are there in the Lascaux caves?

Only one natural cave - the Grotte de Lascaux - plus the copy as the original is closed to all but serious research to protect the paintings. The plan I've seen shows the cave as a single passage with a branch off it but that might only be the decorated section. I don't know its true extent. By the way I'm not quite sure what your question means. A cave is a cave in the singular irrespective of its complexity and number of passages and chambers; although if is part of a system proven passably link two or more caves, they keep their original names as far as the junction between them.

Are white or black pearls more valuable?

Answer There is no simple answer to this question as it really depends on the type of pearl you are discussing. The most common types of pearls are cultured akoya and cultured freshwater. Neither of these are naturally produced in a black coloration. Black akoya and freshwater attain their coloration from aniline organic dyes or cobalt-60 irradiation. Natural black pearls are known as black South Sea, Tahitian or Cook Island pearls. They are produced by the Pinctada margaritifera black-lip mollusk. These naturally black pearls grow quite large are are typically more valuable than akoya or freshwater pearls. The most valuable of all pearls are those grown in the Pinctada maxima or silver and gold-lip mollusk.
