It takes a lot to make me gasp these days. This site and the accompanying video had me gobsmacked and looking for more information. I want to go there and visit this cave of crystals. It's on my list of things to do before I die.

Watch the video. Trust me on this one. You'll watch it twice. I guarantee it.

When I first watched it, I thought the crystals were small and in the foreground using a small aperture on the camera to get a good depth of field. Oh, was I ever wrong. The narrator starts to walk on the cyrstals and puts things into real perspective.

Absolutely amazing.

It's all about that moment when metal that hasn't seen the light of day for generations frees itself from the soil and presents itself to me.

I remember freaking out the first time I saw still photos of the crystals with humans on them....most definitely awe inspiring....looks like something I would see in a Hollywood interpretation of a Wells or Verne novel.
