SYNOPSIS
THE MYSTERY OF THE GIANT CRYSTALS is a fascinating adventure in scientific research. A journey into the depths of the Earth in search of the most beautiful treasures of the mineral world, to explain one of its great mysteries: the formation of giant gypsum crystals. From the Roman mines of Segóbrica described by Pliny the Elder, to Europe's biggest geode, found in Almería, Spain; from the volcanic depths of the Andes, to the grandiose "Cueva de los Cristales de Naica", an authentic crystal palace hidden beneath the Mexican desert of Chihuahua, we shall discover the wonderful world of crystals, their science and their beauty, through the guiding hand of Professor Juan Manuel García-Ruiz

Our contribution to United Nations International Year of Crystallography
It is our wish that any school teacher or college professor, anywhere in the world, can use our movie as a didactic tool in order to get a closer look as thousands of young students have already done it at the fascinating world of Crystallography. This is why our best efforts have been oriented to the free, widespread exhibition of our movie.
The Mystery of the Giant Crystals is now available FREE through our website, where it can be viewed in video streaming, high-quality 1080p image resolution, with narration and/or subtitles in four languages. More language versions are on their way.

Considering that these crystals are formed in solution-chambers
on a planet that is emersed in electrical activity, I must ask; did
the researchers who have proposed their answer to the formation
of these features consider electrical currents as a principle factor
in growing these structures?
