I'm afraid that if you can't offer up a basic explanation for the origin and nature of a phenomena, I can't give it REST approval.

I can say, however, that Kray is partially right. If it causes a planet to evade detection, it would bend most forms of electromagnetic radiaton away from it. This is typically done by a magnetic field such as the Earth's, which blocks off powerful radiation such as gamma waves and X rays. Lower power radiation, like UV rays, are then blocked for the most part by chemicals, like ozone. This Mazosphere idea seems like these crystals produce something akin to quantum resonance and distortion; That is, it's similar to how quantum objects (or, as recently discovered, very small, very thin macromaterials) can exist in two places at once, or how they can 'resonate' with each other by matching a certain 'frequency' of radiation. Perhaps these crystals behave like higgsium; When a certain stimuli is applied, they project a field that initiates this quantum phenomenon. If the planet's core is comprised of said crystals, the stimulus could be intense heat or pressure. The crystals could then project an effect field around the planet, causing the whole planet's quantum nature to resonate in such a way that it naturally deflects radiation. Little iffy on what KINDS of radiation, but it's a start of concept idea.
