Hurikane

Hurikane was a planet possibly located in Wild Space. It was inhabited by a race of sapient beings made of stone and purple Hurrikaine Crystals, who were almost insectoid in appearance.

In 58 BBY, a young Padawan named Mace Windu was sent to Hurikane to negotiate with these beings and possibly obtain some of the crystals. After events went poorly, several of the native gave chase to Windu, resulting in Mace panicking and pushing them into a canyon. Having realized the error of his ways, the young Jedi apprentice healed the being's broken body by piecing it back together with the Force. In gratitude, Mace received some of the Hurrikaine crystals from the being's body, which he used to create his purple lightsaber blade.

Behind the Scenes
"Hurrikaine" crystals appear in Knights of the Old Republic II, and, while not obtainable through normal gameplay, possess many of the attributes associated with Mace Windu's lightsaber, including its purple color. While not officially confirmed, it is logical to assume that Hurrikaine crystals come from Hurikane; perhaps the beings themselves are called "Hurrikaines", explaining the spelling discrepancy.
