- Force Touched: Created from organic material that was touched by the lightside of the force the crystal maintains that connection making it easier for the wearer to call on the force, while also boosting their healing abilities. For someone like Gianna who often would stay in a hospital until she had treated everyone she could, this would allow her to heal with less use of the force, allowing her to heal more people over a longer time than normal.
- Resistive: The hardness of the diamond allows the crystal to remain resistant to damage, providing capable resistance to energy types and an increased resistance to physical damage.
- Healing: Created from flowers brought into being by a massive healing event the crystal contains a touch of that healing, making it easier for its user to reach out to use the force, especially the healing abilities that Gianna was known for.
- Force Aura: The crystal seems to sing with the force, creating a passive healing aura around it. Even when the user isn’t actively drawing on it to bolster their abilities, those within a 10m radius will find that their bodies would heal naturally faster.
- Diamond’s are a girl’s best friend: The pressures and temperatures involved in the creation of the crystal turned it into a diamond, albeit one with a pink hue. The way it shines and catches the light, cut and polished it wouldn’t look out of place in a formal setting or a casual one. A diamond looks good on any occasion.
- Beacon: The passive aura of the crystal makes it impossible to hide, a beacon shining in the force for any who are capable of sensing it.
- Passive: The crystal boosts one’s abilities in the force, particularly healing ones, but this is merely a passive effect, the crystal, by itself, carries no active abilities. It won’t teach you to heal or give you knowledge or capabilities that you don’t already have. It just makes things easier.
- Null Field: In the presence of a force nullification field the crystal’s abilities flee it, leaving it as nothing more than just a pretty rock.
Given enough time, enough heat and pressure any organic material can be converted into a diamond. It is a process that has been known about for some time, contributing to the surfeit of diamonds and other crystals in the galaxy. All it took was a source of pure carbon which could undergo treatment to turn the carbon into a diamond.
The trick then was to find a source of carbon to use, hardly a problem considering that Carbon was one of the most plentiful materials in the universe...only that wasn’t enough for John. He didn’t want to create just any crystal, he wanted to create one that meant something to Gianna, pulling from her past from significant events that she’d lived through. To that end the man visited key points in the woman’s history, finding flowers there that had some connection to the force and Gianna.
In the fields of Tanaab John found a pink flower, the Orchidaceae Aeterna which had grown there in response to a massive outpouring of the light side of the force that the Jedi had been present for. The kind of mass healing you only hear about in stories, in the legends of the Jedi. It was this organic matter that John compressed into his first crystal, part of a larger idea that had been playing around through the man’s head.
The final product was a pink crystal that seemed to have an aura, a presence of its own in the force. A touch of the light side, of the healing that had created it in the first place.
