Lead-safety Message: The most famous example of a cave system containing crystals associated with lead mining is the Cave of the Crystals (Cueva de los Cristales) in the active Naica Mine in Chihuahua, Mexico. While the massive crystals themselves are made of selenite (gypsum), the surrounding mine is a primary source of lead, zinc, and silver.
