    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.

        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.
