Krayt Dragon and Pontite have to be my favorite on this list. The Krayt Dragon pearls giving off a powerful blade sounds so cool and the Pontite is a cold crystal that emits a calming effect from the blade, giving it a healing aura for the Force that affects even dark side users. Easily two of my favorite lightsaber crystals in Star Wars.
@@SuperShortyuussn Right but you still need a Focusing crystal to form the blade and give it color and attribute. The pearl just makes the user stronger.
Permafrost crystal- a kyber crystal that bonds with its masters soul and explodes upon someone else trying to use it it gives off and icy blue hue and can cut items with how insanely cold it is it’s found on icy and snowy planets such as Hoth
Kohlen crystals made a non lethal non solid flame like blade that could pass through shields. Obi-Wan found this out when his kyber crystal was stolen and replaced with one. They could also be used in a shield generator to combat lightsabers better than normal shields.
We all know that the Blue Heisenberg crystal is the most powerful. It has the highest purity, and has the innate ability of making one high when wielding. Thus, born is the fighting style-The High Swinger style.
If it also has the resistance to dark side users as other gems do, requiring bleeding like other light Saber stones and turning it red wouldn't that defeat the point?
@@SAMSeclipselivesNot only is the blade invisible, but it also doesn’t make a sound. This makes it easier to a user of a Ghostfire Krystal to strike an unsuspecting enemy.
In a dual blade lightsaber in legends could hold up to 4 crystals, imagine the inquistor lightsaber with 2 main ghost fire crystals combined with a seeker crystal and a lorrdian gem stone. Unstoppable in the right hands, you'd be an illusion to them anticipating every move from your enemy whistle knowing where they are at all times.
@@John_America_1776 I mean why not🤷🏼♂️, but it's not really the best imo for this saber, due to it doing more damage to the user than it's opponent. Also the saber I was designing is really for force users to be more tactical and unpredictable rather than aggressive and powerful.
Qixoni crystals- This crystal produces a dark red lightsaber blade that seems to cry and scream in pain and fear as its swung around, while increasing the strength of it's dark side wielder.
There were also supposed to be very rare naturally red crystals (presumably from kyber formations at darkside attuned locations), I don't know if any of this is cannon anymore but by the time of the original trilogy Vader was supposed to use one of these because it was more powerful. Such locations would also presumably have more orange and purple crystals than someplace like Illum was supposed to pre bleed cannon.
It’s not that rare as the crystal was Obsidian kinda of, this was a special kind of Obsidian mined from dark side shrines and were infused with the power of the dark side of the Force. As a result when put into lightsaber it produces a Red blade without the need to bleed a crystal.
@@TheMichaellathrop Obsidian Kyber is 100% cannon Snoke wears a ring with an Obsidian kyber crystals and the obsidian crystals that make natural red blades are sold at Galaxy’s edge look up Obsidian in Wookiepedia and there’s a section that called “In Lightsabers”
There was one crystal I think it was only mentioned 2 or 3 times it was used for stealth generators and some Sith use them as light saber crystals. It produced a caramel colored blade that had a soda like effect and was nearly impossible for force users to detect and made almost no sound when turned on. Fun fact the inventor used it in a sparring match and when he got angry and when he turned on his blade on he turned invisible for a split dangerous as hell in a dual.
When I was really young, I got to keep a Star Wars “Jedi manual” from my kindergarten library, and there was a section that showed how the Jedi make their lightsabers and it showed the different lightsabers of some of the main Jedi and sith. And when it talked about the kyber crystals, it mentioned that some of the sith made artificial crystals which gave them the red color. Don’t know for true if it’s true or not though.
What I remember reading was that many Sith did not have the patience to undertake the journey to find a crystal that resonated with them, and would just synthesize a crystal - and that the fastest and most common synthesis process always produced a gem that would generate a red blade, thereby creating the stereotype that the Sith used red-blade sabers, and its counterpoint, that if you wielded a red-bladed saber you would be suspected of being a Sith or at least a Dark Jedi.
I had a story planned -- dubbed "The Crystal Congress" -- in which two Jedi Masters and Two Sith Lords from the Old Republic Era were drawn to the planet of Ilum, due to them discovering a "vergence" in the Force. Investigating, they uncovered a hidden creche deep inside a long-buried Temple in an ice cavern. The creche contained an urn, in which a cluster of eight Pontite crystals were kept. Between the Sith and the Jedi, they split the cluster into eight separate crystals, and took two each -- one for each "master" and the second for their "apprentice". The reason why I chose Pontite for this story was that aside from its canon values, Pontite has ever been depicted -- to that point in time -- as being white or almost iridescent white in color. In the MMO SWTOR, they have a group of item enhancement crystals that are all white. Which is the color crystals I chose for my Consular main, and my Sith Inquisitor main characters.
You missed Etaani Crystal, also called singing crystals, only found from caves deep under the surface of the mid rim world of Etai. These crystals were especially effective at reflecting blaster bolts.
I remember when my brother and I were watching mandalorian season 2, and the tusken guy pulled out the pearl, and my brother was like, "How are we gonna fit in a lightsaber! It huge!"
The crystals showing on the site he’s using are not Kyber Krystal’s pictures they are from marvel contest of champions and is used to unlock hero’s and villains to play as
You forgot Quaza Stone. This rare crystal produced a blade of red with a black core, and was specifically intended for use by those who possessed bio-mechanical abilities granted to them by the Hero Factory. It should be noted that Quaza itself is light sided, but a even rarer dark sided variant called Anti-Quaza existed. It should also be noted that only someone with a Quaza Core could tell the difference between the two, hence why Hero Factory Bio-mech units would use them, as they themselves had Quaza Cores to power their bio-mechanics, much like the robotic heroes at the Hero Factory had as their power cores.
This video is how I re-imagined it, as the Cyber Crystals, and their families of other variants, by colors, such as from Red Crystal Variants, to Blue Crystal Variants, from Purple and Rose Crystal Variants, to Digital and Techno Crystal Variants, and more. I'll add that to my list, as well. 😊😊😊
Can you make a video on every named alien species in Star Wars canon? (Specifically the more civilized ones that might have representation on the senate for example)
One thing you forgot to mention about the Krayt Dragon Pearl, is that when it is refines, it becomes a Rainbow Gem, which when used in a lightsaber, gives of a Rainbow Blade. My personal favorite
I think you missed the Heart of the Guardian and Mantle of the Force from Knights of the Old Republic. Not sure if they qualify as synthetic kybers, but thought I might as well mention them 🤷♂️
What about the crystal you mentioned about Mace Windu? Started with an A and you remaked like it was special I was kinda expecting it in the list. Awesome video btw as always I love your channel.
Time stone: can make a time dilation bubble when meditating with the saber Power stone: can cut through a planet with a widely variable blade Space Stone: creates a wormhole on a slash Mind stone: a hypnotic blade Reality stone: has false blades slash out on attacks Soul stone: allows for the lightsaber to become part of your soul
I remember there was one unique kyber crystal named PERMAFROST Crystal, which was almost the same as normal kyber, but instead of MELTING objects, they literally FREEZING them, and could be found on Dathomir, Aurellia and Hoth. Tho, it may be only in legends, since the only appearence is the old Star Wars game.
Wasn't there a crystal that the Sith rarely used that had a natural red color and was not a bleeding crystal? Or was that already metioned in the video and I just missed it completely?
what if. hear me out. we dont know where the dark saber crystal came from, but perhaps it came from a black hole pulsing out a black crystal and a force sensitive mandalorian found it one day exploring? or perhaps a dark crystal is made by harnessing down a black hole into some kind of void crystal? losr or forbidden technology perhaps?
Can someone help me out? I swear I remember there being a lightsaber that can basically shoot out a beam when swung that looks like a lightsaber beam. I don’t know if I’m crazy or what but I swear I remember it
in the disney version it is only tilted by a scrietch note so it almost sound indestinkwiched from the normal ones but in the book it is a deffaning scream that would paralyze all non force users inducing them with fear and confusion! how can disney fuck up everything!
I remember Chewbacca's nephew used a computer crystal from left over rebel tech at yavin four base. Jacen solo once got a present for his mom. It was a corusca gem. Very rare and shined like a diamond. When put in a lightsaber the blade was white with flashes of all bright rainbow colors found in the gem. Rebel is jacen solos baby mama got a gem fro her home world and her blade was a bronze color. With grew their gems while pouring their hate into it. There was no corrupting another. The gem was hate pure hate. Luke even used creating a crystal for his green saber. He made it in obi wans old house.he poured his soul into it. This was the real universe not the disneyverse of woke and diversity.
Don’t mean to alarm you but I’m pretty sure most of these at least exist in legends books before Lucasfiom was bought. Unless ur talking abt the movies in which case that’s real asf
I wonder if Dylithum Or Energon Crystals can Make good Light Sabre Crystals (for Non force Users) But Dylithum Crystals are tuned to subspace frequencies so who knows
The crystal of the lightsaber isn't for power, it's to focus the plasma, or to color/extend the blade in different mods, touch paper and read. all lightsabers were powered by power cells of a very high energy density, and the plasma blade is collapsed and stored inside of the cell. There are countless canon examples of this in lore. Ironically not one star wars channel on TH-cam seams to have a clue, are you guys just making shit up?
That’s not necessarily true, yes lightsabers have a high density power cell but the power cell isn’t generating the blade. It’s pumping power into the crystal which generates the plasma which is then focused into a blade by either a secondary focusing crystal/ lens or energy field generated in the emitter. The power cell was also necessary for all the delicate electronics within the lightsaber. The kyber crystal is what generates the blade which is why people say kyber crystals power lightsabers

Stygean crystals but EXTREMELY rare. Papls mined 99% of them for cloaking generators
Ive gotta say, bleeding feels much more like a sith thing than synthetic crystals. Synthetic feels like how they'd mass produce red blasters.

It would depend on which infinity stone it is, since each stone has its own inherent powers & abilities.
