[QUOTE="LONEWOLF, post: 550591, member: 6309"] Wish I got the chance to visit this place in Naica, Mexico... Giant Selenite Crystals, Deadly but Beautiful...

The mining complex in Naica contains substantial deposits of silver, zinc and lead . Unfortunately the Mining Company has now turned off the pumps in 2015, due to the cost of Power and they are now flooded again.... Never to be seen again.. 8.( They have now discovered some more that they believe to be an extension of the previously discovered Caves... Hopefully these new ones will be preserved for ever... :/ [video=480,360][url]https://youtu.be/fXo60AuCSwc[/url][/video] Discovery also made a great Doco on them titled, "Naica, Beyond the Crystal Cave" Best Doco I have seen on them...
