Pulpí Geode, Giant crystal cave in Pilar de Jaravia, Spain.
The Pulpí Geode contains translucent selenite crystals reaching lengths of up to 2 meters across its 8-meter-long and 2-meter-high interior walls.
Mineralogists from Madrid discovered this natural formation on December 31, 1999, within an abandoned silver mine that operated from 1840 to the Spanish Civil War.
The mine complex displays additional geological features including various smaller geodes, mineral formations, and distinct rock structures that demonstrate the region's rich mining legacy.
Visitors must make advance reservations and pay 22 euros for adult admission to access the geode, located 50 meters below ground in the Mina Rica.
Scientific research indicates the gypsum crystals formed between 164,000 and 60,000 years ago through interactions between freshwater aquifers and mineral deposits.
