About this listen
In January 2001, Leela was on a team of the earliest explorers to enter the astonishing giant crystal caves in Naica, Mexico. The giant Selenite crystals were discovered in April, of 2000, by two miners assigned the task of extending the underground tunnels and drilling into bedrock searching for a vein of silver, lead or zinc. These colossal pylons of crystal are located nearly 300 meters down inside the 200-year-old working silver mine and is in the village of Naica, Chihuahua located on the east face of the Tarahumara Sierra Madre Mountains. These caves contain what are now known as the largest crystals on Earth ranging in size to approx. 15 meters (approx..40 feet tall) and weighing as much as 60 tons and estimated to be 550,000 years old. They are also known to be some of the purest form of selenite found anywhere on earth.
