The Following is a list of some of the various types of focusing crystals used in lightsaber construction. For the Padawan stage of your training your crystals will be provided by the Masters. Once you ascend to the rank of Jedi Knight or Sith Saber you will be asked to construct your own saber to your own specific and unique design, and these are a few of the many options you have when building your weapon.

Adegan Crystals
Adegan crystals had a special connection to the Force, and it was through their use that Jedi created a bond between themselves, the Force, and their weapon. The Adegan crystals in a lightsaber gave off a weak Force signature that could be sensed by any Jedi.
Kathracite was the most common form of Adegan crystal, followed by relacite and danite. These crystals didn't focus energy as well as their rarer cousins, and thus were usually reserved for use in training sabers.
Mephite was a typical Adegan crystal used by the Jedi.
Pontite was the rarest and most powerful type of Adegan crystal. Nearly impossible to find, it resonated with a powerful aura that cooled both skin and tempers.

Compressed Crystals
A compressed energy crystal, abbreviated CEC, was a type of lightsaber crystal. CECs were also the central component in Ves Volette's light sculptures. Removing the crystal from a sculpture would result in the collapse of the gaseous light within. Certain compressed crystals, when used in lightsabers, caused the energy blade to take on a peculiar "pulsating" appearance with a thinner core. While it seemed to effect only certain types of crystals, compressed crystals appeared to be more precise than the normal blade.

Ankarres Sapphire
The Ankarres Sapphire, also known as the Antares crystal, was a crystal that possessed legendary healing powers and numerous other effects. It was one of the most potent crystals that could be used in lightsaber creation. It was also a crystal of great power and could aid a Jedi in battle.
Legend has it that this sapphire could only be wielded by light-siders. If the crystal or saber was to be touched by someone dark, it would slowly heat up and burn their hand. Supposedly, this effect could apparently be reversed if it fell into the wrong hands.
Barab Ore
Barab ore was a resource to Barab I. It actually lay on the planet's surface, meaning it was exposed to high doses of radiation and torrential downpours daily. This ore could be found in concentrated ingots that actually stored and magnified the radiation.
When placed in a lightsaber, the ingots produced a clear blade that burned almost to the point of losing its cohesion.
Bondar
Bondar was a type of lightsaber crystal used in the construction of lightsaber. An asteroid in far orbit around the Alderaan system was the only known source of bondar. This crystal was capable of briefly stunning an opponent if the lightsaber scraped their flesh.

Luxum
A Luxum crystal was a type of crystal that could be used in lightsaber construction. These crystals were from the world of Ambria, a planet gripped by dark energies, where they were formed out of the minerals and Force energy contained in Lake Natth through long and deep meditation. They were more effective against droids, imparting an ion effect to a lightsaber blade when used the construction of the weapon.
Damind
Damind was a type of lightsaber crystal used in the construction of lightsabers used by the Sith. The planet Daminia was the only known source of damind.
When set in a lightsaber's crystal chamber, damind created a wider and longer blade than seen on a standard lightsaber, able to more-easily deflect blaster fire.
Dragite
Dragite crystals were found on M'haeli, in the D'lope Mountain Range. The crystals were sometimes used to focus lightsabers. The beam they created resonated loudly when it struck, inflicting a minor amount of sonic damage.

Durindfire
The Durindfire gem was a precious crystal found on the planet Tatooine. A Durindfire gem was key in adding a distinctive silver sheen to any lightsaber blade. This stone was traditionally used by the Jedi of the Halcyon/Horn family.
Eralam
Eralam was a type of lightsaber crystal once mined on the third moon of Erai, though orbital bombardments by ancient Sith forces against the moon made them very rare. If they could be found, Eralam crystals produced a clear, superior lightsaber beam.
Firkrann
Firkrann crystals were a comparatively heavy lightsaber crystal mined on the planet Rafa V. The crystal imparts an electrical charge to the weapon that contains it making the saber especially devastating to droids. They were noted to be used specifically by the Dark Lords of the Sith.

Hurrikaine Crystal
Hurrikaine crystals were deep blue to violet lightsaber crystals from the planet Hurikane admired for their unparalleled beauty. When used in lightsabers, they created blades that were very good at penetrating defenses.
Kasha
The kasha was a crystal traditionally used by the Cereans as a meditation tool. They were used to clear the mind of distractions in order to create a perfect meditation environment. Patterns were scribed on each face of the crystal to harness its full energy potential, possibly created by Bi-Dar Tyunda thousands of years before.
When used as a lightsaber crystal, it helped clear the wielder's mind of distractions, even during tense combat.
Katak
Little was known about Katak Crystals or their origins. They were generally only found in the lightsabers of dark side Force users. Users of this lightsaber crystal managed to drain some of the life force of those they struck with blade.

Lignan Crystal
Lignan crystals were exceptionally powerful lightsaber crystals that were made from Lignan ore—an ore that was very powerful in the dark side of the Force. Lignan crystals enabled a lightsaber blade to burn hotter and last far longer than normal lightsaber crystals. This allowed the Lignan-enhanced lightsabers to cut through objects faster
Lorrdian Gemstone
Lorrdian gemstones were crystals used to upgrade lightsabers. They originated during the Kanz Disorders, when the enslaved Lorrdians were forced to develop kinetic communication to communicate with one another. This gave the Lorrdians the ability to better predict the actions of others, including their Argazdan overlords, by careful observation of subtle changes in body language.
A few Force-sensitive Lorrdians imbued certain gemstones with similar abilities. When these gems were installed in a lightsaber, the user was better able to read the actions of their opponents. This enhanced the wielder's overall defenses and ability to deflect blaster bolts.
Nextor
Nextor was a type of crystal occasionally used in lightsaber construction. The crystal was mined in the mountains of the world M'haeli. When set in a lightsaber's crystal chamber, nextor generated a highly volatile, yet powerful blade.
