Geologist Juan Manuel García-Ruiz calls it "the Sistine Chapel of crystals," but Superman could call it home.

A sort of south-of-the-border Fortress of Solitude, Mexico's Cueva de los Cristales (Cave of Crystals) contains some of the world's largest known natural crystals—translucent beams of gypsum as long as 36 feet (11 meters).

It looks like scenes from Superman. Good thing they didn't know about this place when they filmed Superman. They would have ruined something so beautiful. Imagine discovering this for the first time, must have been amazing to walk into.
