Lightsaber crystals

Lightsaber crystals were crystals able to be used in constructing a Lightsaber. These were gemstones or other crystals that could give special effects to the Lightsaber if used within the blade.

Lightsabers can be powered by many crystals types, these are a list of the most common types of crystals that can power a Lightsaber:


Galid Sapphires were Sapphire-like crystal found on many icy  and swampy worlds, most notably found on Vandor. Used mainly by Bogan-troopers in their Lightsabers they could be identified by the ability to freeze water in tropical climates.

On a Lightsaber it give an energy absorbent blade which can absorbed the power of blaster bolts better then most crystals. They were usually extremely cold to touch.


Impact crystal were unique synthetic crystals made with pure energy, these crystals can cut into many things except Sith armour and can devastate entire armies if it was used in a Lightsaber.

This crystal was invented by Ventus Halas and Darth Vader tried to recreate the crystal but he lost them.

Krayt dragon pearls are pearls made in the gizzard of the Krayt dragon of Tatooine, once polished properly it can make a blade capable of even cutting into Beskar unlike other crystals.

Krayt dragon pearls are also very valuable, in our money the can be worth £500 000.

Kyber crystals can be found  Dantooine, Ilum, Jedha, Lothal, M'haeli, Terrakybos, Mygeeto and Tatooine. They can form a connection with their users and the more connected you are the more light your Lightsaber can feel.

Kyber crystals(especially the Ilum variant) were the standard Crystal used in Jedi Lightsabers as well as some Sith Lightsabers. Kyber crystals can be bleed, turning it into a crimson colour.

Rainbow gems are believed to be a Silicon based lifeform and can be used by Lightsabers, it can connect to people better then Kyber crystals but not as much as Sith Rubies as well as producing a rainbow coloured blade.


Sith rubies were crystals that could be made by any normal stone, they could be only made by the pure power of dark side energies which you use to compress the stone and turn it into a dark red gemstone, hence the name.

Lightsabers powered by Sith rubies have the potential to deactivate other Lightsabers, but this was rare. It's said that a Sith rubies can connect to its maker better than any other crystal used in Lightsabers.

Kohlen crystals produced an orange blade with low energy and can only be found on Pijal's moon. Though they can cut through energy fields they can't cut through almost anything else. Though not used in main Lightsabers since their discovery they were used in training Lightsabers, especially after the fall of the empire and the rise of the new Jedi order.


Synthetic crystals were crystals made artificially by people and weren't naturally produced by natural means. Synthetic-crystals were usually unstable but both Jedi and Sith perfected it for the use of Lightsaber blades.

Synthetic-crystals were used more by Sith then Jedi though they preferred making Sith rubies and Kyber from Terrakybos. Since most methods for making synthetic crystals came from the Sith most Synthetic crystals were crimson.

They were popular in making mass produced Lightsabers since they could make the same sized and shaped crystal.

Others:

Other then the crystals talked above many Jedi/Sith used crystals most other people didn't use.  one example would be Bizana Tano, who used a Bronze Onyx gemstone which produced a light brown coloured blade.

Darth Nox

An ancient Sith lord who lived during the time of the great galactic war, Darth Nox is an example of how people on the bottom can climb to the top. An ex-slave, Nox eventually became a member of the Dark council, and became very feared for some of his abilities. His main ability to be feared of was Force-walk, which was made to eat ghosts. History: Born as a slave some time before the great galactic war(around 3680 BBY), Nox was recruited by the Sith for his force sensitivity and went through the trials within the Korraban academy and was assigned to a master of his own. At some point he learned that he was a descendant of Lord Kallig, he also learned the ability of Force walk and started to consume ghosts. At one point(sometime after he killed his master)he seeks the Ghost of Kalatosh Zavros and went to find his resting place. With the help of Ashara Zavros, Darth Nox got to devour Kalatosh Zavros spirit and got Ashara to be his apprentice, who he started to date. Later in h

An ancient and obscure Sith Lady/ Sorceress, Darth Tanis was the last Dark lord to fight the Jedi during revan’s time. Though only a leader of a small grope of Sith, Darth Tanis actually did a lot during her time, including repairing the temple on Malachor II. As a Sith sorceress, Darth Tanis was very skilled in Sith Sorcery, skilled enough to rival even her ancestors of the original Sith empire, However her sorcery was very similar to what would be practiced later by the Nightsister, as many Jedi and Sith pointed out. Secretly she was also the biological child of Marth Octavius, Which made her the Niece of Darth Cardinal, as Marth Octavius was His cousin. History: Darth Tanis was born on Korriban during the late Jedi civil war to an unnamed mother, after the dark wars she slowly used the Knowledge of a now abandoned Sith Academy on Korriban as well as knowledge from her own tribe and took the mantle as Dark lady of the Sith without being trained.

Darth Vitiate

Born as Tenebrae, Darth Vitiate is a relic of the past. Living since the time of the original Sith empire Vitiate always wanted true immortality so he went to far lengths to achieve that goal. Even by Sith standards he's evil, extremely evil. He drained the life of 80 000 Sith competitors and he would do anything to have power, absolutely anything no matter the cost, good thing he died. O wait, he didn't. He resurrected himself as the eternal emperor Valkorion and had to be killed a second time, good thing he died then for real. History: Vitiate was born as Tenebrae around 5000 years before the battle of Yavin on Medriaas, at a young age he conquered his home world which impressed the ruling Marka Ragnos who gave him the Darth title and named him his secret successor. Darth Vitiate would stay out of the power clash after Marka Ragnos died, and when the great hyperspace war he concluded he gathered as many survivors as he could and went to Dromund Kaas. Their he drained the life
