Giant Crystal Cave Special NGC
There is a special on a cave with some of the largest crystals on earth. It is in Mexico, boasts something like 120 deg temps with 80% humidity and has bus-sized (or bigger) crystals. The cave's name is Cueva de los Cristales (pretty original ). I caught just a bit of the special the last time it aired and it is wild. Check it out if you are interested.

Well obviously the activation energy for nucleation was orders of magnitude greater then the activation energy associated with crystallization.
Gives a whole new meaning to the word phenocrysts.
