Kwiminyaka elishumi elinesixhenxe eyadlulayo, abazalwana ababini ababesebenzela u-Industrias Peñoles babemba itonela phantsi kweNtaba iNaica eChihuahua, eMexico. Bakhubeke ngengozi I-Sistine Chapel yamakristali .

Umqolomba waseNaica wamakristali yinto engalindelekanga, efunyenwe ngomlingo, yangcwatywa iimitha ezingama-300 ngaphantsi komphezulu womhlaba. Ngaphakathi, iikristali ezinkulu zinokufikelela kubude bentsomi obude ngaphezu kweenyawo ezingama-36. Ezinye zeekristal ezinzima ziqikelelwa ukuba zinobunzima ukuya kwiitoni ezingama-55.

Abaphandi bakholelwa ukuba yeyona kristale inkulu ngaphakathi emqolombeni ibikhula ngaphezulu kweminyaka engama-500,000.
Amakristali akhule efikelela kubungakanani bokubonga ngokudityaniswa kweemeko kwiminyaka eli-10 000 eyadlulayo. Ngaphakathi emqolombeni, amaqondo obushushu anokufikelela kwi-136 ° F, nge-90 ukuya kwi-99 yepesenti yokufuma. Umoya uneasidi kwaye akukho kukhanya kwendalo. Amanzi aphantsi komhlaba afakwe i-calcium sulfate Ndadada ndaya kungena emiqolombeni kwaye, ndatshiswa yimagma engezantsi, ndaqala ukwenza indibano enkulu yeekristali.

Nangona kunjalo, iimeko, ngelixa zilungele iikristali, ziyingozi ebantwini. Nabani na ongena emqolombeni kufuneka anxibe isuti ekhethekileyo yokupholisa kwaye anciphise ixesha abalichithe emqolombeni ukuya kwimizuzu engama-45 kuphela.

Imiqolomba ngoku ivaliwe kubakhenkethi, njengoko imisebenzi yezemigodi ime kwaye Umqolomba ongaphantsi komhlaba uphinde wazaliswa ngamanzi . Imiqathango ibuyela kwimeko yayo engaphazanyiswanga, ivumela iikristali ukuba ziqhubeke zikhula.

Nangona imiqolomba ivaliwe, kunokwenzeka ukuba ubone enye yeekristali kufutshane. KwisiXeko saseNew York Igalari ye-Astro ine-32-intshi ye-Selenite crystal evela eNaica ebonisiweyo.

Kwaye akukho ngaphandle kwemibuzo eza kuvula imiqolomba, ukubona njengondwendwe olukhethekileyo kakhulu kurhulumente okanye unxibelelwano lwenzululwazi lwaziwa ukuba lufikelela.
