"This is a Corusca gem. They're used as money some places around the galaxy."
"Not here they're not."
"It's worth a lot of money everywhere."

―Padmé Amidala and Huga^[3]

Corusca gems, also known as Corusca stones,^[4] were an extremely rare and valuable type of gemstone^[2] found on the planet Sarka.^[1] Padmé Amidala gave away her corusca gem necklace to a man named Huga on Mokivj so he and his companions would not hand her over to Duke Solha.^[3] Corusca stones were among the profitable cargoes recommended to fellow smugglers by Platt Okeefe in the pirate Maz Kanata's Smuggler's Guide, along with beskar, quella gems, and prismatic crystals.^[4]
