geostyring

Geostyring is a fictional geological phenomenon. It describes the imagined process by which large, crystalline structures spontaneously emerge from the Earth's crust. These structures, often referred to as geostyres, are depicted as geometric and intricately formed, sometimes appearing to pierce the surface like colossal natural sculptures. The concept often appears in speculative fiction and fantasy literature, serving as a source of wonder, a geological hazard, or a valuable resource depending on the narrative.

The fictional mechanics of geostyring vary widely. Some interpretations suggest it is a form of accelerated mineral growth, driven by unknown subterranean energies or pressures. Others propose it is related to exotic matter or a unique planetary process. The sheer scale and crystalline nature of geostyres are central to their depiction, differentiating them from more conventional geological formations like mountains or rock outcrops. The term itself evokes a sense of something both geological and artful, suggesting a natural force that creates ordered and beautiful, albeit immense, structures. While purely speculative, geostyring taps into human fascination with the Earth's hidden processes and the potential for extraordinary geological events.
