Are there any gemstones in Mammoth Cave?
Probably not! I can't speak for specific caves but as a general rule caves in limestone are not gem-stone mineral sources.
It's important too, to differentiate between gem-stones and gem-stone minerals, because the former are simply high-enough quality specimens of the minerals to yield cut ornaments.
That's not to dismiss it entirely: caves formed in marble may hold gem-stone minerals (not the same as gem-stones) if the passages have cut into igneous dykes or been affected by later hydrothermal activity.
There is also the point that you never remove any of a cave's natural contents except in 3 situations: 1) "digging", i.e. clearing silt or boulder obstacles to discover where the passage leads; 2) minimum-size samples for genuine laboratory analysis; or 3) for proper preservation and display when the cave is being destroyed by quarrying or civil-engineering.
So even if the cave holds "gem" minerals... you don't touch 'em!
"Cave softly" typically means to yield or give in gently or without resistance. It suggests a sense of surrender that is not forceful or harsh, but rather done with grace and subtlety. This phrase can be used in various contexts, such as relationships or negotiations, where a gentle approach is preferred.
