Ancient control crystals from a DHD.
Control crystals are crystals used for a variety of technology, including the technologies of the Alterans and the Goa'uld (who presumably stole it from the former).
Control crystal use
Ancients
The Ancients control crystals ranging from colored jewel like crystals to square clear crystals. They are found in a variety of technology, including the Stargates, Puddle jumpers and Dial Home Devices. DHDs have control crystals which contain information on which planets a Stargate can link to, and where not to link to. They also send out new locations on the DHD's information update system. The Stargate in Atlantis is the only one in the Pegasus galaxy which can achieve an extragalactic wormhole, via a special control crystal. (SG1: "Solitudes", "The Fifth Race", "48 Hours", "Avenger 2.0") (SGA: "Rising", "Thirty-Eight Minutes", "Home", "The Lost Boys", "The Hive")
Goa'uld
Goa'uld control crystals
Control crystals, called delmac in Goa'uld are also extensively used for Goa'uld technology. Long cylinders which contain information and data storage, they are required to access and power a great deal of their technology, including the Hyperdrives and weapons on Ha'taks. They are also used to store information on research that has been conducted. (SG1: "Exodus", "Enemies", "Revelations", "Homecoming")
Ori
Like the Ancients, the Ori use control crystals to store information in the Supergate. In an attempt to stop the Ori from dialing into the Milky Way, the Asgard formed a control crystal to dial the Ori Home Galaxy. However, the Ori dialed in before they could dial out. Subsequent attempts to dial out were unsuccessful. (SG1: "Camelot", "The Pegasus Project")
Tau'ri
The Tau'ri also use control crystals, which are clear and cylidrical. In function, they appear to have been taken out right from the Goa'uld control crystals, controling such functions as hyperdrives and shields. (SG1: "Prometheus", "Prometheus Unbound", "Flesh and Blood")
Tok'ra
Like the Goa'uld, the Tok'ra use control crystals for their technology. The Tok'ra also use crystals to form thier tunnels, which they use when they use to hide in. Tok'ra crystals also hold data information like the Goa'uld crystals. (SG1: "The Tok'ra", "Summit", "Last Stand", "Lost City")
