The Crystal Egg is a science fiction short story written by H. G. Wells in 1897. The story tells of a shop owner, named Mr. Cave, who finds a strange crystal egg that serves as a window into the planet Mars. The story was written the same year in which Wells was serializing The War of the Worlds in Pearson's Magazine, a year before it was published as a novel. Because of the vaguely similar descriptions of the Martians and their machines, The Crystal Egg is often considered a precursor to The War of the Worlds, though there is no clear foreshadowing of the events that transpire in the novel
