General Information Body Paragraph:
 

Kyber crystals were Force-attuned crystals that grew rarely but throughout the galaxy, with some areas having a greater abundance than others. The crystals concentrated energy in a unique manner through the Force, resonating with it.] The crystals exhibited a sort of "collective consciousness," verging on sentience, and could non-verbally communicate with both one another and living beings. Some theorized that the permutations in the kyber lattice were comparable to emotional shifts in a sentient being.

History/Background Body Paragraph:
Before the Jedi and Sith orders, kyber crystals were worshiped by primitive societies for their fire-resistant properties, intricate structures, and near impermeability, signs which made them appear outwardly eternal. Ancient beings associated them with wind, rain, and breath. It is believed that the Jedi saw them as embodying an aspect of the Force. Over the centuries, the Jedi amassed an almost exclusive right to the crystals, protecting and collecting them to decorate their temples and power their lightsabers. Some saw this collection of the kybers as proof of the Jedi's inordinate greed, and their secrecy over its nature a result of their wish to remain in power. Others saw the Jedi as protecting the galaxy from those who might use the powers of the crystal for dark purposes.

Within the Temple of the Kyber on Jedha, the Jedi were able to sculpt some 2,304 statues out of kyber using lightsabers. These statues lined the tunnels of the temple and were guarded by the Guardians of the Whills. Another Kyber structure was the Kyber Arch located within one of the meditation chambers of the Jedi Temple on the Core World of Coruscant. The Arch was built out of individual Kyber crystals retrieved from the lightsabers of Jedi who had fallen in battle, becoming an advanced meditation practice that honored their sacrifice. Jedi Master Jora Malli once questioned her Padawan Reath Silas why a single Jedi could never cross the Arch alone. Silas realised the question was not to be taken literally, as she wanted him to see how, for a single Jedi to cross, the rest of the Order had needed to build the Arch and others had needed to fall in battle.

During ancient wars between the Jedi and the Sith, in which both sides fought for control over the galaxy, superweapons were created by the Sith that were powered by giant kyber crystals.Around 3966 BBY the Sith Lord Darth Tanis developed kyber weaponry for the Sith on Malachor. The Sith temple on the planet Malachor was one such weapon. Although these stories were considered legends, a giant kyber crystal was discovered on Utapau during the Clone Wars. The Confederacy of Independent Systems attempted to acquire the crystal, but they were discovered by Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi and Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker. The Jedi were able to prevent the crystal from falling further into Confederate hands, though Yoda was concerned that Darth Sidious would discover another giant kyber crystal in order to construct another superweapon. Doctor Istan Zaly, at least according to Adjutant General Wilhuff Tarkin, had great success in analysing kyber crystals' internal structures.

Additional Information Body Paragraph:
Kyber Crystals could be found in many places, though the Jedi Order primarily used the Planet Ilum for younglings to harvest their crystals from the icy caves. When a youngling woul;d enter the caves they were tasked to find these crystals, they would hear the crystal call out to them if it was the correct one meant for them. The way the crystals turned colour was to the user's emotion or state of mind when the crystal was harvested.
The following colours was the types that is currently known about in lore:

Blue, Green, Red, Purple, Black (DarkSaber), Orange (lava Crystal), Yellow (Temple Guard Sabers), Clear (Ghostfire Crystal), White Crystal (Purified Crystal).
