The Cueva de los Cristales is home to the largest natural mineral crystals ever found. The crystals are made of gypsum (hydrated CaSO4) that precipitated out of groundwater over hundreds of thousands of years. The temperature inside the cave is 60C and the humidity is 100%. A miner trying to steal some of the crystals passed out, and was found thoroughly baked some time later.

Unsurprisingly highly intelligent and interesting questions from the audience (except for the insipid twat at -20:00).

...who summarily roasts them for a tasty snack. Its funny how the interviewer seems so genuinely unaware of how trivially easy his questions are to answer.

This is a weird one. Its just a half hour of silent video from the 70's and 80's showing how microchips were assembled, how some laser experiments work and who knows what else. Its neat to see how much has changed since then. If you're a super nerd you might even be able to identify some of the stuff they're making!
