Bursite

Bursite is an alien crystal originating on the planet Burrakis. The source of its power is not known. All scientific evidence to this point suggests the source of the power-producing element or compound is contained inside the crystal and may be released by burrowing through the inert matrix with a laser or other energy beam. Alternatively, the power source may be split from the matrix by applying a strong magnetic field to the crystal.

The origin of the power source is unknown. It seems to react in much the same manner as anti-matter, but scans of bursite crystals clearly indicate it is not. What is known is that the crystals can generate a tremendous amount of power, making them a very powerful resource for whoever masters its handling.
