About the place

The Naica mine with its enormous gypsum crystals may well be called the "Queen of the Giant Crystal localities". Giant crystals in general are exactly this : of remarkable dimensions ! But they are not necessarily nice or esthetic in the common sense and in fact they only rarely display free growing crystals. In Naica they do ! And all what you ever imagined about giant crystals in the interior of the earth, about enormous vugs filled with glittering crystals so large, you can walk among them, comes true in Naica ! 

In 2000 another crystal cave system was discovered at 300 m depth, even much more spectacular than the original discovery back in 1910. This newest discovery was named the "Cave of the Crystals" and it turned out to be one of the most spectacular geological and mineralogical discoveries ever made ! In fact it is a complex system of caves orientated along a geological fault, which yield free growing gypsum crystals up to 12 m size and 2 m diameter.

In the mines there are many uique and rare species of gems and stones are found which is used in making jewelry. Some of the stones are very rare and they only found in this cave only till know. more than 90 types of gems and stones.
