Mirkanite

From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.

Mirkanite mining

Mirkanite was one of the valuable materials found in the lava of the planet Mustafar. Huge potential profits have spurred mining operations on the volcanic world, despite the safety risk.

It was also a substance commonly used in the construction of superlasers; the Galactic Empire tapped the planet for its resources during the construction of the first Death Star. Rianna Saren, a mercenary with the Alliance to Restore the Republic, destroyed the mine on Mustafar during her mission to gather information on the Death Star for the Rebellion.
