[knowledge-first]

Did You Know? The Cavernous Crystal Castles of Mexico!

Deep beneath the earth's surface in Mexico lie some of the most spectacular natural wonders - Naica Crystal Cave and Giant Crystal Cave! These caves boast giant selenite crystals, some reaching up to 36 feet tall and weighing over 55 tons! The crystals formed over millions of years as mineral-rich water seeped into the caves and slowly evaporated, leaving behind these breathtaking formations. #caves #crystalgrowth #selenite #naturalwonders @knowledge-first

Massive selenite crystals in the Cave of the Crystals in Naica, Mexico

[imaveryevilenby]

Hi I just wanna talk abt interesting rock things for a minute

This is the cave of the crystals in the Naica Mine in Naica, Mexico

Fucking cool as shit yeah?

These are gigantic crystals of selenite located about 1,000ft (300m) below the surface and the largest crystal is estimated to weigh abt 12 tons

Now this cave looks pretty, but it's a literal hellscape

To make the crystals, hydrothermal fluids needed to be heated by a magma chamber right below it, meaning the entire chamber is fucking hot. Temperatures average abt 122°F and the humidity is a constant 100%. These factors mean that a person without proper protection could only last abt 10mins in the cave before dying of the heat or suffocation because the humidity condenses so much fluid in your lungs

So yeah, crystal murder cave
