    I’ll save you a click, they’re sulfur crystals. This is interesting because although they can naturally form in volcanic regions this area is non-volcanic. The other way they naturally form is via microbial actions which may offer a clue about Mars past.

      God damn you I was only going to read the headline and then tell everyone I know that we finally discovered kyber crystals. Now I have to read about boring regular science

        Fun Fact: Yellow kyber crystals got their unique color from the hardening of Wookiee urine from the mountains of Kashyyyk. It can also be used for Porg banquets due to its salty taste and rough texture.

            Fixed. I knew that, just didn’t type it correctly. Guess I was more concerned about getting the three Ys in Kashyyyk right.

      Also saltpeter and diamonds, and a giant bamboo stalk to stuff it all into

        Yeah, the saltpeter (potassium nitrate) is really the key ingredient here. It’s the rapid oxidizer compound that gives your anti-Gorn cannon its boom boom. Without that, mixing all the other stuff together is just going to be smelly and disappointing.
