Mephite crystals, simply known as mephite, were rare, lustrous kyber crystals found in a handful of pIaces in and around the Adega system[1] and on Ilum.[2]
Description[]
One of five types of crystal known collectively as adegan crystals, mephite crystals were well suited for use in lightsabers due to their internal structure and light-modulating capabilities. Like all adegan crystals, mephite crystals were force-reactive and could be infused with a small amount of a Force-sensitive's power. When installed in a lightsaber and infused with the Force, mephite crystals gave off a small but steady Force signature that could be sensed by any nearby force user.[1]
Mephite, along with pontite crystals, were discovered on Ilum by Jedi survey teams thousands of years before the Galactic Empire's formation.[2]
