Planet Xylovaris, a mesmerizing spectacle in space, captivates from afar with its shimmering iridescent atmosphere and thick crystalline clouds, scattering light in a spectrum of hues. It's slightly smaller than Earth, with a mass suggestive of a dense core beneath its glittering surface. The surface of Xylovaris is a sprawling desert of translucent crystal sands that stretch like frozen oceans. The terrain is fragmented by towering formations of amethyst and quartz, casting ephemeral shadows over the landscape. During its lengthy daylight hours, the sun refracts through the planet’s crystalline facets, creating an illusion of endless water mirages. At night, these crystals emit a faint luminescence, navigating the terrain in a celestial dance of blues and purples. The atmosphere, thin and composed primarily of neon and argon, facilitates drastic temperature swings, enhancing the planet's harsh beauty but limiting its hospitability.
