- "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 on meryx
White wroshyr trees were a type of sapient[1] wroshyr tree native to Kashyyyk. By around 40 BBY, they had been[2] thought[1] extinct for millennia. Meryx, one of the most valuable gemstones in the galaxy, was the fossilized amber of the tree.[2] During the High Republic Era, Wookiee Jedi Padawan Burryaga Agaburry's lightsaber had meryx plating.[3]
