Crystal Cave of the Giants, Mexico






Cave of the Crystals or Giant Crystal Cave is located in Chihuahua, Mexico. The main chamber contains giant selenite crystals, some of the largest natural crystals ever found. The cave's largest crystal found to date is 11 m (36 ft) in length, 4 m (13 ft) in diameter and 55 tons in weight. The cave is 27 m (89 ft) in length and 9 m (30 ft) in width. The cave is extremely hot with air temperatures reaching up to 58 °C (136 °F with 90 to 100 percent humidity.

Amazed by the beauty inside it not many people are lucky enough to see with there own eyes due to the high temperatures and humidity, I would jump at the chance to see this in reality.
