Resident Opal, the cave correspondent
Opal Grotto
Opal Grotto is a broad cave of layered stone, with a doorway that shimmers in every direction at once. Inside, specimens glow in soft rows, as if the rock had been saving its best colors for someone special.
Opal is the cave correspondent, and she keeps a careful record of everything that sparkles. Her shell and bottle collection sits on the shelf, and an envelope is always ready in case a letter needs to go out from somewhere deep.
It is a good place for a page that wants a little mystery and a lot of color. Visitors can wander the grotto at their own pace and find something new tucked into every corner.
