While the chance of this set of conditions occurring on other places in the world is remote, García-Ruiz expects that there are other caves and caverns at Naica containing similarly large crystals.

Only 2 Growing Chambers - This was a minor grumble of mine. Without a doubt it was much easier and the result was much better when we used the silicon cups that came with the kit. The crystal we grew in our own jar was hard to remove and had more jagged edges. The crystals from the provided cups popped out much better and the base fit into the display case perfectly (the jar crystal didn’t fit great in the display). Additionally, if you just want to use just the provided cups, then you have to make them one after the other. This does extend the growing time (maybe this makes you happy? If so, make it a “pro”).
