The Shimmering Secret of the Color-Shifting Turtles

Behold the ordinary sea turtle, resting peacefully under the warm tropical sun.

But as the light shifts, a secret is revealed, a dazzling display

of iridescent blues and greens. Microscopic crystals on the shell surface act like tiny

prisms, bending light to create these stunning colors. Across the colony,

these living gems transform the shoreline into a shifting mosaic of light. As it slips

back into the deep, its shell remains a shimmering suit of living armor.
