Research has been done for the purpose of describing the characteristics of the Kallang Salukang Cave and analyzing the mineral content of cave caridoid that include a sample of cave ornaments such as stalactites, stalactites, lime, sand and soil done in Laboratory of Microstructure of FMIPA UNM using X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) method. From the results of the research in which the characteristics of the Salukang Kallang Cave can be found flora, fauna, and is a cave that is still active characterized by the presence of water seepage in cave ornaments and the existence of a low-temperature underground river that is 26o C and high humidity up to 96.1% with light varying equal to 0 characterized by the existence of moss plants. And the temperature for the outside of the cave is 28o C, with a humidity of 94.8% and the maximum light varying 127 lux. And the results of the analysis of the mineral content of cave ornaments with the method X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) namely a sample stalactites, stalagmite, lime in caves and outer limestone caves containing calcite (CaCO3) of 100%, the dominant sand containing SiO2 of 93% and land Contains SiO2 of 47%.
