At the beginning of the 20th Century the Naica mine became world renown when the largest gypsum crystals of the whole planet were found inside. Since 2000 four new caves were discovered deeper inside the same mine, hosting gigantic gypsum crystals (over 12 m in length). In 2005 an International project led by Speleoresearch & Film of Mexico City and La Venta Exploring Team from Italy started to study all the scientific aspects related to the development of these crystals. In the framework of this project, a detailed analyses has been performed on the secondary minerals hosted inside the Naica caves. This research put in evidence a completely unexpected mineralogical richness for an environment apparently completely filled by gypsum: 40 mine...
