Well it is shaped like a pyramid and at first it's hard to tell, but
save the rock on the very top, this is an entirely nature-created

The deposits in the water make for some spectacular colors in
this natural fountain.

This is the view from the fountain itself - the ground is hard
with deposits and mottled with color.

No it's not blood...
But we could imagine legends being started
