Inside the hilt of a lightsaber there are three focussing crystals. The central crystal governs the color of the blade. The outside two affect the properties of the blade itself. Though these changes can be obvious or subtle, they are as important, to an experienced Jedi, as the lightsaber itself.
SIGIL
- - Mined in the Sigil system, this crystal is a costly but valued addition to a lightsaber. It produces a fiercely bright beam that sears on contact.
DAMIND
- - Found on the desert world of Daminia, this crystal can be used in lightsaber construction to produce a clearly defined beam of subtly wider width and length.
NEXTOR
- - The crystal is mined in the mountains of planet M'haeli, and when used in lightsaber construction it produces a volatile blade that can cause surprising amounts of damage.
OPILA
- - Found in the asteroid fields of the Fyrth system, this crystal can be used in lightsaber construction to produce an intense beam that seams extraordinarily quick to the cut.
JENRUAX
- - The refined form of Opila, this crystal has been cleansed of all impurities. When used in lightsaber construction it produces a blade of unerring quickness.
ERALAM
- - Once mined on the third moon of Erai, ancient Sith bombardment shattered much that remained. If they can be found, these crystals produce a clear, superior lightsaber beam.
PHOND
- - The strange byproduct of rare impurities bonding during the making of certain alloys and some random external condition, this crystal produces a fiercely burning lightsaber beam.
FIRKRANN
- - This heavy crystal is created by the natives of Rafa V. If used in lightsaber construction it produces an electrically charged blade that is devastating to droids.
SAPITH
- - This crystallized material was excreted once every 11 years by the ancient Volice worm of Lwhekk, now extinct. It produces a more intense lightsaber beam, granting better control.
