You should feel the wind blasting up this passage, it phenomenal. Just up ahead there is a tunnel that crosses this passage and further on a shaft that goes upward into the forest above. Apparently the largest uranite crystal ever found came from this mine. Uranite is of the isometric crystal system and so it should come as no surprise that the crystal was a large one foot wide cube.
