Ice - but I don't know why it formed in this shape.

Ice. Seriously though I'm clueless as to what this is.

It does not appear to be an oyster...it looks a piece of ice melting. A wonderful shot, very contrasty and clear.

You will have to do better than this to stump me. Obviously, this is the ice caves of Cheltus VII, a very trendy tourist destination in the outer colonies. A very photogenic location as well. Since being discovered in 2776, it has been photographed nearly as often as Antelope Canyon. We've all seen it before, time to try something original.

Oddly, my first thought was oyster, before I read your title.
but is it? or is it nicely formed ice.

Glacial and lovely. It's obviously ice, but not sure about the interesting shape of it.
