Looking for a certain object within the SW universe

Hi, everyone.

Okay, I'm working on a fanfic, but I need some help. I'm looking for something. What I'm looking for, is something (an object, like a crystal or stone) that would allow a Force user to gather Force energy to himself and use it to greater advantage.

I don't know if anything like this actually exists in the SW universe. If there is, please let me know. And if there isn't, but there is something similar, again, please let me know.

I was told about and looked up kaiburr crystals. Not what I'm looking for, but a good start.

Also, what I'm looking for is something that can be made into an amulet, or a ring. And preferably something that's not so unique that there's only a single one. But still rare. Kinda like those Force-blocking lizards. (I forget what they're called.)

If such (an) object(s) do(es) not exist, let me know as well.

The lizards are ysalamiri. I don't know of anything you're looking for but good luck.

I'd think such objects could exist: it's certainly true that the Force can be amplified, as in the temples on Yavin IV. Of course, you'd have to justify shrinking it down to amulet-size. Have you read through the SW Encyclopedia and related literature? There may be something in there.

Well, I don't see why it couldn't be so small. Unless it was used to actually store the Force power for any period of time, like a Force battery. What i'm looking for does not necessarily have to do that. Just draw Force energy to it. (And allow its holder to tap that energy as it's being absorbed.) For all I know, if such a rock or whatever exists, it could do something extremely mundane, like converting Force energy into heat. That wouldn't be much of a purpose, but beauty found within many subterranean caves serves no purpose, either; it just happens to be.

EDIT: Oh, and no, I've haven't looked through the encyclopedia. I don't have one.

The Kaliburr Crystal from Splinter of the Mind's Eye is basically the only thing I can think of at the moment, beside Sith artifacts designed to channel/tap into the Force. You could use a variation upon one or the other...

Vor'na'tu from Galactic Battlegrounds appeared to be a similar artifact, and it didn't have the range limitations the Kaiburr crystal had I believe.

Artusian Crystals of the planet Artus Prime, as seen in Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast, may have the properties that you are looking for. They are small enough to be easily portable, and their usage, absorbing Force energies from the Valley of the Jedi and infusing that energy into the adepts of Dark Jedi Desann, is quite similar to the one you're indicating.
