Synthetic lightsaber crystal

Synth-crystal
A synth-crystal was a crystal utilized by the Sith when a red blade was required, in tradition with the Sith lords. All Sith lords carried lightsabers with synth-crystal. They were sythetic reconstructions of real crystals, with a red shading rather than those naturally inhibited by the crystals' geometric models. These were made because in nature across all planets, there were no naturally occuring red crystals. Darth Sidious produced synth-crystals for all his apprentices. In particular, Darth Vader's crystal chamber contained a synth-crystal coloured light crimson, unlike his predecessors who used red crystal. Often synth-crystals were made by a Sith master, rather than his apprentice. No synth-crystals carried abilities that enhanced the powers of the lightsaber blade or the lightsaber's user.
