The Enchanted Cave - A Legendary Amethyst

  The Enchanted Cave is the largest amethyst cave in the world. In detail, it measures approximately 18 feet wide and weighs over 44,000 pounds. Visitors to Crystal Castle in Australia have the unique opportunity to enter this cave and even to sit for a guided meditation.  

The Enchanted Cave Experience

Crystal Castle owner Naren King purchased the Enchanted Cave from an Uruguayan farmer as a gift to the castle on its 30th anniversary. At first, the Cave began as a giant bubble within an ancient lava flow. When allowed to cool, it formed into a massive geode which revealed itself in good time to the farmer. When the gigantic amethyst arrived at Brisbane port, several teams worked to deliver it safely from its shipping container. Naren told Verandah Magazine that the project took "an epic 7 hours of unloading." The task required the help of teams from Universal Cranes, Cargo Network International, and Interport to transport it from the port to its permanent home at Crystal Castle. (source) Because of Naren's determination and persistence, you can sit in the Enchanted Cave fashioned within the earth over 120 million years ago. A guide will help you find your center, as you sit in silence. Your heart will resonate with the grounding energy in the bosom of the world's largest amethyst cave. As you awaken to your inner world, your exploration of earth's mysteries continues as you prepare to experience the rest of Crystal Castle.  

Crystal Castle

The Enchanted Cave is truly a microcosm of the entire Crystal Castle & Shambhala Gardens experience. As you walk the sacred paths through the gardens, crystal surprises emerge around every corner. The Crystal Guardians, the two tallest geodes in the world, stand sentinel to a path of lush rainforest foliage. Composed of smoky quartz with smatterings of amethyst and calcite, these stunning monoliths stand at over 18 feet tall. A rose quartz spiral invites contemplation, while Rosie stands apart welcoming visitors to touch and take photos. Rosie is a single solid rose quartz crystal weighing 8,000 pounds. The guide book describes Rosie as a mini-mountain that stands at the entrance to the Reflexology Path. Scattered throughout the grounds, rose quartz crystals make perfect seats for small children or adults needing a contemplative rest. The blending of subtropical plant life with nature's perfect gemstones ensures a sublime and awe-inspiring experience for all visitors. To book your visit, I invite you to visit the Crystal Castle website for all the details.
