Frozen Egg
Name: unnamed
Species: Opal Turtle
Birthday: Sunday, October 9, 2016
Owner: zylle
Element: Neutral 
This egg looks like a piece of rock with veins of opal.
On a good day or night, a lucky visitor to the Candle Archipelagos might spot a shimmer of color breach the surface of the water then disappear. Paddle out to one of the region's lagoons in a small boat and you might get a closer look at one of the islands' seasonal visitors, the opal turtle. So-named for the beautiful iridescent patterns inlaid within their keratinous shells, unlike real opal, the color in these turtles' shells comes from the glowing jellyfish they love to eat. This gives the patterns in the shell a faint luminescence, which can be seen against the dark of the rest of the shell when the turtles come up for air. Once hunted for their beautiful shells, opal turtles are now protected in the Candle Archipelagos and migrate in vast numbers every summer to mate and lay their eggs on the beach.
