Cave of giant crystals
"Post from the past": Amazing cave with large crystals were discovered in the Mexican desert in the 300 meter depth. The photos of this impressive miracle of nature, against which people seem helpless dwarf.
1. Crystal Cave (Cueva de los Cristales) is located in a silo complex Naica, in the Mexican desert of Chiahua at a depth of 300 meters.
2. Miraculous miracle occurred as a result of the creation of unique natural temperature conditions and natural environment clogging, which is not in breach of several million years.
3. Amazing cave discovered in 2000 two brothers - miner Sanchez, who blazed new tunnel.
4. Humidity is up 100%, temperature 58 degrees, so no special equipment to be safe only 6-10 minutes. Otherwise, you can get heat stroke cause sudden pressure surges.
5. Cave of Swords was found a little later, and despite the slightly smaller, it also delights and amazes with its magnificence.
6. Huge crystals reach 15 m in length and 1, 5 m in diameter. Weigh these giants more than 55 tons.
7. volcanic activity associated with the high temperature and pressure, which began over 25 million years, the earth filled the cavities anhydrite (a kind of plaster), which later broke up and enrich the water, let nature dictate of caprice or to create such an incredible miracle.
8. If the crystals are placed in the environment, which for them was the "native" many thousands of years, they will continue to grow.
9. The remaining liquid droplets inside the crystals allowed to understand the conditions during the development and education of these cameras with crystalline formations.
10. According to the analysis of samples, one of the main conditions for the appearance of such giant crystals is the constant presence of cameras in a very narrow temperature range of 55-60 degrees Celsius.
11. To date, despite the great scientific and aesthetic value of these caves to the world community, a few crystals are already damaged.
12. Repeated attempts to break off pieces of crystals "souvenirs" or smuggling prompted the owners of the company to install iron door.
13. One of the miners, trying to steal a piece of the findings, did not consider environmental conditions, and was subsequently will actually baked.
14. Selenitovye clumps crystals characterized by its parallel fiber structure.
15. The crystals have a wonderful yellow-silver, green and sometimes overflow. Selena in ancient Greece - the goddess of the moon. Apparently for the as noble shine like the brightness of the night, this stone got its name.
16. Selenium figures traditionally considered helpers in matters of love and oratory. But in the East selenite - "spiritual stone" that clears the mind, the body adjusts internal vibration to the same frequency with the cosmic energy.
17. Constant research and analysis of the data provides a big field geologists to study. "Multimillion blockage caves" allows scientists to not only assume, but also to see firsthand the stages of development of the earth's crust.
18. According to García-Ruiz - a geologist from Iceland "No other place on the planet where the mineral world reveals itself in such beauty ...»
19. According to the last computer modeling and mathematical processing, silo complex in Naica, where they were found, these two caves, waiting to be several similar cameras.
20. According to the theory developed by genetic mechanisms of formation of such crystals, it is quite possible that once active tectonic regions of the world have the same cave rooms with unique crystals.
