Trivia

• The Glittering Cave may be a reference to the Glittering Caves from J. R. R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings. Both appear as a network of tunnels lined with crystals.
• In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, a stone from this cave is on display in the Rustboro Gym with a description that reads "A Kalos stone."
