These terms do not apply to the situation. Intrusive and extrusive are types of igneous rock and like most caves these have been formed in limestone, a sedimentary rock. The chemical action of rain water, which contains dissolved carbon dioxide, was responsible for hollowing them out. The crystalline formations have resulted from the evaporation of watery solutions seeping through the rock.

Are cristal caves real?

I'm not sure what you mean by "cristal" - try "crystal"-caves, all lower-case. There a few caves dotted around the world that have been given the proper-noun, "Crystal Cave". A very quick internet look showed a "Crystal Caves" (pl) in Mexico, and in the singular, one in the USA and one in England. I daresay there are others, and the name presumably reflects them being rich incalcite formations. They don't exist as a cave genera: caves are classified by the way they form but there is no "crystal cave" class.

Yes, crystals can be found in caves. They form naturally through the process of precipitation from mineral-rich water seeping into the cave and slowly evaporating, leaving behind crystal formations like stalactites and stalagmites.

Why can't you breathe in crystal caves?

What do you mean by a "crystal cave"? As a caver it's not a term I recognise except as aplace-name given to a specific cave. I believe there is a beautiful show-cave called"Crystal Cave" inAmerica."Crystal caves" whatever they are in general though... can't you breathe in them? Cave air is usually quite fresh and though it can happen it's rare to find bad air in them.
