"They are beautiful," Ibani agrees, voice soft. She hears Chirrut's statement that they weren't corrupted, but she's only distantly aware of it as she reaches for the crystals.
She scoops up both into her right hand in one motion, almost afraid that the light in them will go out at her touch in spite of her prior experiences with kyber crystals. When she scoops them up, their glow flares so bright that she reflexively shuts her eyes against the light.
Then she loses her sense of everything for a moment, even up and down, as her entire being RINGS as if she's a tuning fork struck against some great cosmic surface. The Kyber's song is an exultant shout of joy as her knees unhinge and she starts to fall to the floor, her right hand clenched tightly around the crystals in it, hiding them from sight.
