Cueva de los Cristales

or Cave of Crystals.

A thousand feet below the Naica mines, exists the Cave of Crystals.

A true splendour to behold!


But to do so, one has to endure the heat of the Naica mines,
under which no more than a mile below the surface magma resides.

Within the caves itself the temperature rests somewhere at 112 degrees farenheit,
and according to National Gegraphic with a 90 to 100 percent in humidity.


Ultimately, each visit qualifies the probability of a heartstroke.


But, wouldn’t the beauty itself risk a person’s heart in the first place?



Due to these temperatures, human exposure is only permitted for 10 minutes at a time,
and so the caves are yet to be revealed to the human eye.

And that is precisely what I love the most about this underworld.

Isn’t itGod’s way of protecting his hidden beauties from the prying ‘experimenting’ hands
of human scientists in the name of ‘research’.
