- "Probably the single rarest gemstone in the galaxy. It's a kind of amber—specifically, the fossilized amber of the white wroshyr trees of Kashyyyk, which have been extinct for millennia."
- ―Rahara Wick
Meryx was a rare gemstone formed from the fossilized white wroshyr trees of Kashyyyk. It appeared white and clouded, but shone gold when hit by light at a certain angle.[1]
History
Agaburry wielding his lightsaber
During the High Republic Era, Wookiee Jedi Padawan Burryaga Agaburry's lightsaber hilt was made from Meryx.[2] The jewel thieves Pax Maripher and Rahara Wick named their freighter the Meryx after the gemstone.[1]
