Giant Crystals Underground
Cueva de los Cristales - the cave of Crystals is situated in the mining complex Naica, in the Mexican desert of Chihuahua state 300 m
underground. Not made by hand miracle appeared as a result of natural
creation, unique temperature conditions and natural obstruction of the
area that wasn't interrupted for many millions of years. The amazing
cave was found in 2000 by two brothers of Sanchez who were driving a new
tunnel. Humidity reaches 100% here, the temperature is 58 C, that is
why one may stay here safely without special equipment only for 6-10
minutes. Otherwise he may have a thermal shock and jump-in pressure. The
cave of Swords was found later, and despite the fact it's a bit smaller
it also impresses by its splendour. Huge crystals reach 15 m in length
and 1,5 m in diameter. The weight of giants is more than 55 tons!
