Rubat Crystals
Raw rubat crystals are found growing from deposits of a variety of other minerals on Phemis. The exact circumstances that lead to the forming of a cluster of rubat crystals are unknown, and are possibly related to their Force-attuned nature. In the initial stages, a thin film of crystal dust forms on the surface of the central deposit, before gradually expanding into a number of long spires – if left undisturbed. The variety of rubat crystals used in lightsabers were made by selecting fully formed crystal growths, which could be up to a third of a meter in length, and carefully carving them down to a smaller, purified core.
A properly refined rubat crystal can produce a lightsaber blade of dazzling clarity. Some Jedi believed the carving and harvesting process amplified their bond with their crystal, though this may be the stuff of mere legends and folklore.

Game Master Notes
Mechanically, rubat crystals function identically to Ilum crystals, as described on page 197 of the Force and Destiny Core Rulebook.
While Ilum is off scope for most characters, having one so close to the centre of everything is very useful for any group of characters.
