Krayt dragon pearl/Legends



Krayt dragon pearls were lustrous, colored stones found in the last chamber of the gizzard of krayt dragons. The stones were used to help crush food eaten by them, and over time, they became rounded because of how much they moved around. They could be found in colors such as blue, green, red, white and black. Due to a refractive quality peculiar to the pearl, they could be used in a lightsaber if properly cleaned, prepared and installed, though it was a difficult task. The pearls were seen as exceptionally valuable by the public (easily worth upwards of a hundred thousand credits each), as well as proof a person had killed a krayt dragon (to Tusken Raiders, a sign of bravery).

History
An illustrious owner of one of these famous pearls was Revan, who got it in exchange for helping Komad Fortuna at killing an enormous canyon krayt that was nesting inside a cave near Anchorhead. Revan either gave it to the Ghorfa (Tusken Raiders), who recognized him as a warrior and allowed him to learn their tradition, or kept it for his lightsaber, or to sell for credits.

Prior to his death, Calo Nord intended to acquire a Krayt Dragon pearl on Tatooine, but due to the Sith quarantine of Taris, he was forced to stay and work for Davik.

"Shady" Pers, a smuggler from Kashyyyk, received a krayt pearl the size of a human head from a delivery from Tatooine. Although it could easily bring him a hundred thousand credits, the pearl was soon confiscated from Pers by an ISB agent.

The hunter Doallyn retrieved five pearls from a krayt dragon he killed while escorting Yarna d'al' Gargan across the Tatooine desert after the death of Jabba Desilijic Tiure.

CC-5052 "Bly" wielded two krayt dragon pearled DC-17 pistols.

Han Solo used a krayt dragon pearl to bribe his way into the famous sabaac game where he won the Millennium Falcon from Lando Calrissian.
