| giant crystal cave
Naica town, northern Chihuahua
Mexico
A giant crystal cave in Mexico, located 290 meters underground. The cave is full of spectacular glowing giant stone pillars, 4 feet in diameter and up to 50 feet in length. The giant gypsum crystals inside the cave have been growing at an extremely slow rate for hundreds of thousands of years. During the cooling of high-temperature water containing mineral components, crystals precipitate due to gypsum saturation.
The temperature inside the Crystal Cave is very high and there are hot springs around it. According to research, about five kilometers further down from the crystal cave is hot lava magma. It is the very unique conditions of the Naika region that have created these giant crystals, and in other parts of the earth, the probability of finding similar crystal caves is extremely low.
