Planet Xylinthia, a captivating celestial body observed from orbit, reveals a vibrant teal expanse, shrouded by swirling violet clouds. Its size, slightly larger than Mars, hints at a dense atmosphere composed predominantly of argon and neon, a rare atmospheric makeup that contributes to its unique surface phenomena. Upon closer inspection, Xylinthia's surface boasts extensive rain forests, not of organic foliage, but of towering crystal formations. These iridescent structures shimmer with a spectrum of colors, changing hue with the planet's erratic light cycles due to its rapid axial spin. Periodically, the forests experience what is known as "crystal rainfall," when changes in temperature cause the upper atmosphere’s crystals to precipitate gently onto the already glittering landscape. This phenomenon not only creates a mesmerizing visual spectacle but also appears to contribute to the growth patterns of these geological 'flora'. The interaction of light and crystal creates a constant luminescence, making the landscape appear as if lit by perpetual twilight.
