Naica: the Crystal Giants
- Naica: The Crystal Giants
A survey and documentation project in the caves discovered in the Naica mine, and in particular the breathtaking Cueva de Los Cristales. Associazione La Venta has been working on the Proyecto Naica since 2006. It aims to scientifically document this extraordinary phenomenon and bring it to the attention of the public.
In 2000, in the depths of the Naica mine in the Mexican state of Chihuahua, one of the planet's subterranean wonders was discovered, the Cueva de los Cristales, the Crystal Cave.
It is a genuine geode, a cavern completely lined with white selenite crystals, more than 10 metres long, actually the longest crystals in the world. The management of the Compagnia Peñoles, an agricultural concession, has shown great sensibility and protected this priceless phenomenon with admirable rigour.
