"They're really one of the Wonders of the World," said Juan Manuel Garcia-Ruiz, a geologist from Spain's Instituto Andaluz de Las Ciencias de la Tierra, who has studied at the mine. "The crystals need to be preserved much better. They really are something amazing and I think there is still people in Mexico who don't know how important it is to preserve them as much as possible. I'm trying to convince the people of Mexico to claim Naica for Unesco World Heritage site. Naica is very unique and the chance of having another one on the planet is very low."

I can't get this place out of my mind. The sheer beauty and strangeness of the caves. It's like something from a Sci Fi movie, as you suggested in your title. Miraculas place. If anyone knows of any T,V, record of the crystal caves, please, let us know. Tanx.
