The Cave Of Crystals In Mexico Could Be Superman's Home

The spectacular Giant Crystal Cave is connected to the Naica Mine, located in Chihuahua, Mexico, 300 meters bellow the surface.  Its main chamber contains the largest selenite crystals ever found, some of them reaching 11 meters in length, 4 meters in diameter and about 55 tons in weight. The crystals are said to be 500,000 years old and were formed from the underground magma which maintained the water at a stable temperature, saturating it with minerals. This process allowed the selenite crystals to grow to the unbelievable sizes that we see today.
