Ice Cavern

The "Ice Cavern" is a mountain cave first seen in "Monster Buddies".

Description
The first shown part of the cave is a huge room with snow covering the ground. A large grey-blue door is also located on a wall. A key feature is the sharp, icicle-like formations on the walls and ceilings. There are many blocks of ice that inhibit passage into the deeper parts of the cavern. Farther into the cavern are smooth tunnels, narrow crevices and rooms with towers of round rocks stacked on top of each other.

Deep within the cavern is the room where the Shooting Star is kept. The Star itself was laying in a shallow pool. This room was notably pink in color due to the refraction of the Shooting Star in the water.

History
At some point in history, Gems stored the Shooting Star deep within the cavern for an unknown reason. In "Monster Buddies" the Crystal Gems went to the cavern to retrieve the Shooting Star for their own use. Obstacles such as the Ice Monster and falling debris kept them from this goal. It wasn't until Steven tamed the Centipeetle Mother that they were able to travel further into the cave with the help of Centipeetle's acidic abilities to clear a path.
