- "Kyber crystals, used for making laser swords. The price of just one would make a man rich!"

Kyber Crystal were crystals that grew on Ilum and were harvested by Jedi for use in powering their Lightsabers. Jedi younglings would travel to Ilum to collect their own lightsaber crystals in a rite of passage known as the Gathering. Kyber crystals of larger scale were used in the ancient wars between the Jedi and Sith and were capable of amplifying energy directed into them such as the large Kyber Crystal that was found on Utapau.
