The Kunda Stones

Besides crystals, other natural geologic formation can also be used in place. one such noteable one is the Kunda Stones. A native element to the planet Kadril, these stones also have other practical application such as for medication. Although these stones can be used for the construction of a lightsaber, it will however not be the same as using the genuine crystals as it will produce a broader beam.

Synth-Crystals

Artificial crystals were also known to be used in the construction of the lightsabers. Known as synthetic lightsaber crystals, they are typically red in color and are known to be unstable and short lived. Nicknamed "bloodshine blades", synth-crystals were frequently used by mostly the siths and those from the dark side. Even though they are of a lower grade quality, the synth-crystals lightsabers can sometime overload a regular lightsaber in combat giving the user an advantage over their opponents who uses the natural crystals.
