Located in Chihuahua, Mexico is the largest known crystal cave in the world. Known as the Giant Cave of Crystals, this mystical place of wonder contains crystals of selenite (gypsum) that have grown to nearly 50 feet tall, and weighing nearly 55 tons. Within the Naica mountains nearly 1,000 feet down, are these pockets of giant crystals.
