Ankarres Sapphires, also called Antares crystal, were deep blue gems known for their legendary healing abilities. These crystals were very powerful and not only did they aid a Jedi in battle but made an excelent component in their lightsabers. Another unique property of them was the fact that they were only able to be wielded by light siders. If a dark sider touched a crystal or even a lightsaber powered by one then it would slowly increase in heat until burning the offending hand. It was rumored that the effects could be reversed.

In the Jedi Order, the healers were often gifted an Ankarres sapphire as an award after completing a trial worthy of the rarity and power of these crystals. Non-Jedi healers who learnt of the crystal and desired it would got on sojourns to seek out the crystal to aid in their healing. Even Dark side Healers were known to seek out these crystals to corrupt them, thus making it useless to the Light siders, while enabling them to use abilities that were rarely found in their cults.

Healing Attunement: When an Ankarres sapphire is attuned to a Force user and not utalised in their lightsaber, the crystal grants the powers Accelerate Another's Healing and Heal Another if a Force user doesn't have these abilities, if they do, they gain a 1D+0 bonus on the skills. If the crystal is in the lightsaber it grants the powers Accelerate Healing and Heal to the Force User, and if they already possess these abilities they gain 1D+0 bonus to the skills to raise the powers.

Corruption of an Antares Crystal: Alchemy (With a Very Difficult Alter check) is necessary to corrupt the nature of the crystal to allow a Dark sider to wield and benefit from the crystal. A corrupted Ankarres sapphire deals damage to Light siders should they hold the lightsaber or attuned crystal. Corrupted sapphires are all considered attuned.

Lightsaber Colour: The blade of an Antares crystal blade is rich blue with either a white or pinkish core. Should the crystal be corrupted, the core turns either black or red.
