THE MYSTERY OF THE GIANT CRYSTALS is a fascinating adventure in scientific research. A journey into the depths of the Earth in search of the most beautiful treasures of the mineral world, to explain one of its great mysteries: the formation of giant gypsum crystals. From the Roman mines of Segóbrica described by Pliny the Elder, to Europe’s biggest geode, found in Almería, Spain; from the volcanic depths of the Andes, to the grandiose “Cueva de los Cristales de Naica”, an authentic crystal palace hidden beneath the Mexican desert of Chihuahua, we shall discover the wonderful world of crystals, their science and their beauty, through the guiding hand of Professor Juan Manuel García-Ruiz.

Crystal Cathedral = CC = 33 = FAKE.
I agree I seen a video on this a couple years ago n I say if it is important and something is there to Benifits’s the human race the go in there with ur shoes covered a hazmat suit on then do ur limited studies
Gracias!
Sorry, couldn't watch it. Constructive criticism:
lose the background noise.
The subject & your narration of it is great! The addition of distracting, monotonous & annoying music ruined the vid.
@@mprrx-1
Imagine how many other amazing formations exist within the earth, never to be found.
I would hope. There is very little "we" as a whole have not ruined. All in the name of profit. It rains micro plastics... Need I say more
They must be uncountable for us with our messurepossibilities at the moment. And many are still growing
Eh hopefully a couple generations more tech and we'll be able to explore the whole mantle
imagine a civilization doing things a bit bigger then we do..., in the past.., get the ingredients and temperature correct and do the same thing as those students we saw in this vid...: ).., on a bigger scale.. im also imagening those students having to answer it takes millions of years to form those crystals.., in theyre examimation , whilst performing the act themselves..: ) in a day or a week ..or whatever.., who knows how those crystals came there..one thing is sure for me .., theyve shown that there are more possibilities then one in this vid , maybe there are even more possibilities , it makes my mind wonder for sure., tc..
You'd be surprised at all they have hidden, our true history has been hidden and free energy as well
I am totally gob smacked. I had no idea crystallization played such a big role. Then I see crystals one metre wide and ten metres long! Even the smaller gems were astonishing. The miners and managers who protected these finds are a level of hero beyond accolades.
Draining those galleries of their water effectively halted their growth and probably will have been the cause of their eventual collapse. They’ve Already been destroyed. Modern Man is such an Idiot.
@@alanwerner8563. Probably? Examples of these are in museums and private collections for many years. No deterioration.
PS These people are doing everything they can to protect them. If they needed flooding they would.
This walk in geode is one of the most amazing things I’ve ever seen!
Why can’t it just be left alone? Those things are so rare to find so big. Don’t destroy them. Leave ‘em alone.
Whatever Mexicans do is up to them to decide. Rare or not sovereignty imposes that.
I agree maybe move 1 big one for scientific study
Exactly. Greed is too much
Greed
I thought that too. What's the point of studying this.
Appreciate the film,visit.
But now: stop. Watch this film.
Why those questions? What's the point? How did they form:
They already manufacture in the laboratory: so..??
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.
could feel the energy from all of the crystals through the screen of my phone . feeling n seeing in person must have been awsome 🤍🌞🙌
"Xtals"... 🤔??
@@synisterfishxtals = an abbreviation for crystals
It must a new Christmas greeting for rock hounds 😊 @synisterfish
That's amazing! Thanks for sharing 😊 much love to ALL ❤
Wow I’m stoked, in Chihuahua Mexico .. that’s awesome (excited Mother Nature gifted my Home Country of Mexico with such Beauty)
Mother nature didn't give anything. God Almighty created it. His handiwork is seen all over. Praise the Lord.
@@user-nh6mx3nb7f Be nice to others who believe in Mother Gaia, and ancient writings before the Bible was written. Just saying...our history is full of lies. There is a Creator, we just don't know what his name really is. Peace!
@@user-nh6mx3nb7f LMFAO.
Mother Nature and Father God
@@cinaannie7338one is real and one is imaginary. I know which one I'm attributing these beautiful places to.
I think to my self what other wonders are hidden underground
Massive gold mines that haven't been found yet!
Who knows. Let's get down there and find out.
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 CZcams.
Thank you for this being in English!
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.
Incredible! It looks like scenes from the 1959 movie, Journey to the Center of the Earth. Except without the dinosaurs.
Funny. Hollywood always knows things the public doesn’t- those crystals probably started forming right at the time of the destruction of the dinosaurs by the flood- there was a massive air pressure change that took place then as well.
Yes, and without the fantastic Bernard Hermann musical score!
@@generalleigh7387Hollywood knows everything..movies depict real world they just show it as film to decieved human into fictions....,Example of that is SIMPSON'S cartoon .
Or 'The Core'
I've watched a program about these caves on the Smithsonian channel and was blown away with these amazing crystals.
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!
Uno de los mejores documentales realizados sobre las minas de lapis specularis
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.
We'll have to assume a man as educated in such a specialized field, as he is, knows best. And I know from my experience traveling around Mexico to Pyramids, the government does not protect things the way we do in the USA. The first time I visited Palenque tourists were allowed to walk up the steps and down into Pacal's tomb. That was in 1998. The last time I went to Palenque in 2001, you could no longer climb all over. (Thank goodness.)
The crystals are essentially rocks people. They aren't plants or anything live that can catch diseases. All this hazmat suits needed and bare hands touching isn't going to harm them. Keep people from breaking and stealing them or defacing them with graffiti and we should be good. Some of you are getting carried away. Should they be protected. Yes but let's not get carried away. They aren't toxic and they aren't going to catch covid.
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!
If you liked Carlsbad, you would Love Sonora! It's still alive and growing. Caverns of Sonora, Tx, just a little over an hour south of San Angelo.
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.
yes!
uh oh maths
Stunningly arresting: a miracle of time and space. What marvelous intricate power. Excellent Commentary and Video Production

Thank you for sharing this awesome documentary.
I remember being taught that the entire known and assunable unknown universe which include's the totality of the planet we reside on referred to by only us as the EARTH. Has but "THREE CATEGORIE'S". Which in alphbetical order are "ANIMAL, MINERAL and VEGETABLE". And like it or not, it's not open for debate, we human's fit into the ANIMAL category. Of the three, two are envolved in being biological, meaning for the most part, they are born, live, and die. And during their entire process to various degree's, GROW. Where as MINERAL'S are not considered biological, are not born, live nor ever die. AND they don't in any way shape or form grow, they can however erode. Thus in a sense in as much as then were once something different, erode to a point where as they are not the same. A rock cn erode to a point it's referred to as sand.
Recently though I'm slightly aware of crystal's, which I was originally taught are mineral, can and some do, actually grow, live in a sense we can't fathom, and eventually die. Again in such a way we can't fathom. Which then should divide crystall's into two categories, one of which is indeed mineral, and the other would be that of I'd say vegetable.
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.
Those huge crystals' beauty makes you believe some great hand is really shaping the universe.
Not even a little bit. It's nature and science. That's the real beauty.
it all does. You need it all hard and soft.@@Lunatik21
You're right
Mexico tierra de personas valientes bendecido con qbundantes recursos naturales.
Other-worldly scenes! Beautiful!
it is really good that they preserved these.
Order and balance exists in few places that such natural structures can be grown from solid rock salts it's amazing to think how long this immense crystal structure as taken to form even the fluidity of the rock as been held back by this perfect structural scaffolding
Interestingly, the ancient Chinese believed that crystals were condensed from water too.
If there was a way to exploit these caves and their crystals, someone with power and money will do it. PLEASE protect all of them.
They're already in jeopardy. Since the water was drained, no more crystals will form. The water also helped stabilize and support the caves and crystals. Now, without the water, the crystals are under greater pressure.
Very excellent. I really enjoyed seeing this.
Human Greedy will not let these beautiful natural creations stay where they should be....
I would love to visit and carefully appreciate them. The vibes must be amazing in that cavern.
That would be awesome to have a GREENHOUSE MADE WITH CRYSTAL S!👍😲
Grow lab
I think Prince Albert of queen Victoria tried to emulate that building Crystal Palace in Surrey, but he used glass and it burnt down! Also if you have a crystal ball, it is advised to cover with cloth when not in use. This isn’t a juju thing, but it refracts sunlight so hard it can burn your house down!
Awesome crystals and we are fortunate to have some from Naica
Love them
Cuidado con las brujas 🧙♀️ 👀 de naica
Como México no hay 2 definitivamente ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
WOW que hermoso documental , Maravillas de la naturaleza, debemos cuidarla para las proximas generaciones
The narration is superb but a word to the editors, allow more of Prof. Garcia-Ruiz's voice to come through as it is being interpreted. It would help us connect with him or other hosts as well as aid in us learning the language.
They obviously translated this, the original narration is in Spanish thus why you don't see here the fighting between Mexicans and spanish
Imagine all the other giant geodes or caves full of giant crystals that havent been discovered yet. One day someone will possibly find a diamond the size of a car. I hope im alive for the next discovery
That’ll be some deep coal face! Diamonds are just carbon(coal) under immense pressure.
Astronomers just found a giant planet made entirely of diamond.
its funny how theyare worried about preservation while at the same time draining the cave and causing the crystals to fall down themselves. How rediculous.
I was thinking the same thing, they would still be growing if they would flood them again
There is so much more to life than absolute greed or absolute preservation. Without taking metals and minerals much of our world, art, music would not exist because the materials would not have been made.
ofcourse, these people saying to preserve ( im not going to destroy them either) look like theyre a little too much acclimatized talking to others in a far away manner like they would to their children, trying to portray a nice continuity to their fairy tales at bedtime
Assassins Creed should cover this in their alternate history. I could easily see a story tied to how the Animus machine works, all centered around ancient crystal mining activities of the Romans.
Much Respect & Thank You for Creating this Beautiful Educational Documentary. Gaia is A Living Planet We are All Intertwined With Her & Should Not Destroy Her! Once we Educate Ourselves, Things Should Be Returned as Close to The Natural State in Which it Was Found in Order to Do No Harm. This is My Beliefs.... Blessings, Peace, Love & Light to All!
🙏♥️♥️💯
47:32 Looking at this large gallery hall with crystals i ask myself why the human species is so overwhelmed by the beauty of crystals in general from an ontological perspective.
OMW! How amazingly beautiful! Wish I could experience Naica!
From what I know it is also super warm down there which is why it is difficult to discover the cave for long periods.
Oh we are so insignificant in front of this amazing home planet ❤
We take out cameras for granted today. Even your phone is less shaky than this footage
i dont see any shaking maybe youre too still for much long and too sensitive
So... how can the crystals be used,what are the benefits, or what can you do with them,or they are just beautiful minerals?
Every time you strike a lighter or use piezo ignition, that is quartz. Striking a hammer on the molecular structure creates energy causing a spark. Silica is used in solar panels for giving out tiny vibrations under exposure to light.
You can program crystals to do all sort of things, including healing the human body. Marcel Vogel was a pioneer in that area.
Preserved the beautiful nature we have discovered...
Amazing it grew 1 hair length every 100yrs. These are millions of yrs old.
Yes, true. But what is a hairs length? They didn't say.
I have very long hair. My hair grows about an inch or more every month. Facinating.
Such a beautiful world of crystals. I hope that they will be preserved.
They are speaking of "microns", meaning the width of a hair.@@janinedevilliers510
Que maravilla El planeta tierra.
Tanta belleza. La creación perfecta. Con los ingredientes
Principal la la creación divina
Every part of HISTORY around the world plays into our WORLD HISTORY and how we all started…we are all ONE and must love one another no matter where we are from !!!!
Nova on PBS had a great show on it a few years back. Incredible, and I guess HOT down there.
To anyone wondering, they stopped pumping the water out of the cavern. This was to allow the crystalline, gypsum selenite structures to continue to grow, as they would dry out and erode with any growth stunted. Also, the gases in the mine cause opacification on the clarity/ transparency of the crystals. They would not survive long in the atmosphere, but will probably be removed and exploited in the future.
México es único, como un país puede albergar tanta maravilla?. Increible.
I want to live in the crystal caves
I am a Geologist of 50 years, and the rate at which we are understanding, and doing Forensic Geology, is a mind trip for this Old Student > I have more Post-Glacial Fossils by 100 to one , from the Post Glacial and Younger Dryas, than the other boring eon on end, of lesser apparent answers. The Ordovician in any day would produce Nothing when I could be stocking hundreds in a day of the top three meter around SW Ohio. Croccodile, turtles Human, Fish, and frogs... I hope I can find young ones to replace old mans finds. I will show ALL and location routs 100 %
Mind not ready to beleive.Great documentry.
What a fantastic episode this is such an interesting subject thankyou but like he said learn to love them and leave them alone
Wow! What an extraordinary documentary! Thank goodness humans have had the wisdom to preserve these incredible crystal cathedrals - true wonders of the Natural World! 🎉
Bleibt zu hoffen dass die Menschen dieses Naturwunder nicht zerstören.
Just wait, the super rich will buy them to have big gypsum crystal pillars in thier gold and platinum palaces.
That's not a bad idea, those would make some sweet columns!
What a treat Thank You. I was like 😮Beautiful video
recuerdan la pelicula de superman ...se inspiraron en este maravilloso lugar..
True..
Yes. Exactly the same.
Spectacular , while gold mining in South Africa 1400 m underground , hit a small cavern , rose quartz , amazing !
Worker told me , 'there is an hole in the rock face ' , not a unexploded hole , he could put his arm in ! 🙂
How did all that happen ?
It could be water erosion of surrounding rock dissolving the softer minerals around the crystal leaving the durable rock behind.
Yes, where did that water come from ?
Thank you , truly fascinating , incredible magnificent beauty and growth must be preserved. 💜
Music to loud!!!
Awesome video! Than you!
truly extraordinary
Wow, what a stunning example of order from the chaos
I was down there in 2013, joined the crystal cave club
Speechless beauty 😮
The ancient Mayan crystals skulls that know and remember everything that the earth tells it. Another great
Вот это да! Аж дух захватывает!
Majestuosa es la obra de tus manos mi LORD ❤❤❤❤
A tourmaline pocket big enough to sit in. Transparent tourmaline crystals six and eight feet long. That would be something.
@wocomoDOCS If you add salt to a dish and place it in the cave allowing it to dry out, do the salt crystals change shape?
so beautiful cave
there are probably entire planets that are crystal labyrinths
Sensacional ❤
great video. was looking for glass history stuff and this popped up.
Is this the material they used to make the crystal skulls ?
No, that was quartz. Amazingly, these in Naica are of selenite, are made of the same mineral as plaster but crystallized with water molecules added in.
The narrator had an incredible voice. Reminds me of an audiobook of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and journey to the centre of the earth
Magnificent!
Very nice ! love cristals
Very Cool:)
Years ago on Nat Geo I saw a special on the crystal caverns of Mexico n it ASTOUNDED ME how HUGE they were. They were so beautiful and massive. But very dangerous to get to the MASSIVE ones. If I remember right the mining company let the caverns fill back up with water; too expensive to keep the pumps running. It mad me sad but I get it. I'm so very glad these other caverns exist n that the ones in Mexico aren't the only ones that have the MASSIVE crystals. I've never forgotten that special I think it was actually called: Crystal Caverns. I haven't watched this whole special yet.
Finished watching, they show the caverns i was talking about in this special. Aren't they stunningly beautiful?
Wow! I found that really fascinating. I would like to know where the museum is in the final shot where the professor was standing?
They found Superman's home.
They have since resealed & allowed the giant crystal cave to fill back up with water as that water is what continues to feed the growth of these crystals.
This is definitely Superman castle 😎😎
These crystals is the most pure formation of the earth and its elements compacted together, im sure this exist beneath the surface in many spots in the earth, the reason for these crystals in that spot is a special mixture of exact right conditions! in a compact pocket, there will be many more to be found for sure! beautiful thing
Magnificent...
Wow that was awesome
Most quartz forms in either igneous rocks or environments with geothermal waters. In igneous rocks, quartz forms as magma cools. Like water turning into ice, silicon dioxide will crystallize as it cools. Slow cooling generally allows the crystals to grow larger.
CRYSTAL BLUE PERSUASION! ITS A NEW VIBRATION!!!!
Heaven on Earth, the beaury of mother nature 🏞 💎
in awe of mother nature, what a wonder to see
wow i am stunned
Quartz is one of the most common rocks on Earth. Not sure about others.
The Sellia Hideaway is found in North-East Caelid, near Sellia town proper.
It is in the border Region of Caelid and Dragonbarrow but it is slightly into Dragonbarrow.
