SUMMARY
A beautiful fine ringed ammonia world with purpureum and roseum ice crystals, and albidum chalice pods.

Proto Lagrange Cloud

While the lagrange cloud itself is rather beautiful, it pales into insignificance compared to the notable stellar phenomena for which the system gets its name.

Planet ABC 1

Dubbed The Grotto of Amethystos, planet ABC 1 is an ammonia world with attractive banded rings. Nestled in one of the darker bands where the rings are extremely thin, there is a notable stellar phenomena containing Purpureum and Roseum Ice Crystals, and Albidum Chalice Pods. The position within the ring system creates a glowing band of light behind the asteroids as the denser outer rings are illuminated.

Ringside View

The colourful glowing clouds of cold gas and sparkling lights around the ice crystals create a magical environment framed by the gas giant.

Amethystos was a nymph transformed into an amethyst by the gods in greek mythology and so the name was chosen because of the association with the colour purple.

Grotto

Planet ABC 2 also contains a ring with notable stellar phenomena.
