Kaiburr Crystal
Category: ArtifactsA red gemstone capable of enhancing the user's Force strength, the Kaiburr Crystal was believed to have been lost on the planet Circarpous V, many years before the onset of the Galactic Civil War. According to reports that had been collected by the Jedi Order of the Old Republic, the Kaiburr Crystal increased the holder's perception of the Force, an effect that was magnified is an individual held a larger portion of the crystal.
During the months following the Battle of Yavin, Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa were stranded on Circarpous V, and Luke stumbled upon a shard of the Kaiburr Crystal that was given to him by Halla. Luke felt the gem's power from the small shard, and agreed to help Halla find the entire crystal. When he gained control of the entire gem, after an intense lightsaber duel with Darth Vader, its power was revealed as a healing power. It healed the various mortal injuries Luke and Leia had sustained in their battle with Darth Vader inside the Temple of Pomojema. The crystal also provided Luke with a link to the spirit of Obi-Wan Kenobi, who guided Luke's hand in the battle.
Halla later made the connection between the crystal's power and the rumors of Pomojema's priests performing healing miracles. Upon leaving Circarpous V, Luke gave control of the crystal to Halla, who held onto it in order to keep it out of the hands of the Empire. She later returned the crystal to him, for safe-keeping. Luke's later studies into Jedi lore also revealed that Kaiburr Crystals were the most powerful stones that could be used in the creation of lightsabers. However, the power of the Crystal was limited, and diminished greatly as it was moved farther from the Temple of Pomojema.
