Planet Crystallon, distinctly observed from orbit, appears cloaked in a luminous haze—a reflection from its unique crystal veil forests. These immense woodlands, dominated by translucent, crystalline trees, scatter light, creating a mesmerizing aurora effect visible even from space. The planet’s size, slightly larger than Earth, supports a thick, but breathable, violet-tinted atmosphere rich in argon and neon, which contributes to the vivid coloration of its sky and surface. On the ground, Crystallon’s landscape is a spectacle of shimmering flora that thrives under extreme environmental conditions, primarily due to the high concentration of silica in the soil. Continuous light refraction through the crystal trees creates a perpetual kaleidoscope of colors, intensifying near the equator where the crystals are denser and more vibrant. The weather phenomena here include frequent crystal storms, where shards of bio-crystalline material are swept up by fierce winds, coating the landscape anew and altering the forest's reflective properties. This unique adaptation not only protects the forest from harsh conditions but also regenerates its growth, defining a dynamic, ever-changing terrain.
