This cave under The Chihuahua Desert in
Mexico is actually a working mine that is known for its amazing
crystals. The name of the cave is Naica Mine, is located 1000ft under
ground, and it was discovered by two miners, who were also brothers, when
they were drilling into the Naica lead. The chamber of the crystals is
known as Crystal Cave of Giants.
The biggest crystals weigh up to 55 tons and
are measuring up to 36 feet long. Imagine what an incredible experience
it would be to stand in the cave and experience the beauty of the
crystals.
They are blade-sharp and dangerous but
awesome to look at. From the pictures you would suppose that it is
icing cold in the cave, but to be honest it is about 112F, and the
cavers need to bring cooled air in backpacks and be protected by
special suits for the conditions.
