Crystal Palace hidden beneath the Mexican desert | The Mystery of the Giant Crystals

Watch the documentary in Spanish on wocomoESPAÑOL: https://youtu.be/oOh-UtEcrek

Imagine how many other amazing formations exist within the earth, never to be found.

This walk in geode is one of the most amazing things I’ve ever seen!

Awesome documentary about the Naica selenite crystals. I was so fortunate in the late sixties, to see two of the crystal caves freshly opened, two that were not mentioned here. Wow, crystals one meter thick and ten meters long, grew at the rate of a human hair per century!! Made possible by a steady supply of calcium sulfate mineral from anhydride deeper down. Having access for me was because my dear uncle, Buster Sims, was the minerologist of the mine. Truly an unforgettable experience for me. Unlike the second Naica cave in documentary, the ones I saw were yotally covered with xtals from hair size to huge columns in every direction.

Wow I’m stoked, in Chihuahua Mexico .. that’s awesome (excited Mother Nature gifted my Home Country of Mexico with such Beauty)

This a is a beautiful documentary, absolutely beautiful. I am so glad to have seen it. Thank you to those who made it and to those who were kind enough to post it to Youtube.

Why can’t it just be left alone? Those things are so rare to find so big. Don’t destroy them. Leave ‘em alone.

I think to my self what other wonders are hidden underground

Thank you for this being in English!

Incredible! It looks like scenes from the 1959 movie, Journey to the Center of the Earth. Except without the dinosaurs.

Thank you so much for sharing a visual experience of crystals i would never have the chance to see otherwise! I'll be back to watch again in a more leisurely fashion!

I've watched a program about these caves on the Smithsonian channel and was blown away with these amazing crystals.

That cave at the end is magnificent, but you better not spend too much time in there. If Superman finds you in his living room he will beat you, especially if you've been stealing his dad's memory crystals.

Thanks so much for showing and bringing to light. Truly Awesome and the beauty is beyond my eyes. When I went to Carlsbad Caverns as a kid in the sixties I was in awe...but not like this. Imagine being the first to lay eyes on this. Again thanks for showing!

Human Greedy will not let these beautiful natural creations stay where they should be....

Amazed and delighted to see such enormous crystals. But I'm also shocked to see people putting their bare hands on them. Deposits from human skin are known to cause damage in caves and caverns, so I'm stunned that actually touching these crystals with bare hands was allowed.

I love all the new discoveries we are experiencing on this Earth from the Mariana Trench to Antarctica to the Sahara desert to the massive ocean way below the surface, and now this beautiful crystal cavern. But I kind of wish it wasn't discovered.

44:50 not only is the gross slow it will gets slower as the crystal gets larger because the surface area of the crystal is gonna distribute growth slower. It's actually all about the rate of deposit so if you can calculate that you can actually narrow down based off of algorithms how fast any crystal will grow.

Other-worldly scenes! Beautiful!

Interestingly, the ancient Chinese believed that crystals were condensed from water too.
