Lightstones are small, usually yellowish stones made from Glowing Protodermis that give off a bright glow and are mined and used to a great extent by Onu-Koro miners, and sometimes used by them to illuminate their work as well. The Cavern of Light was the main Lightstone deposit on Mata Nui. They were mined in the Onu-Metru Lightstone Mines as well. In Inferno, Lightstones in the Chamber of Death gave off a dark red glow.

When they are first mined, Lightstones are unrefined and give off a excruciatingly bright and blinding glow. After being extracted, they are treated to dim the glow to acceptable levels.

Many of the Lightstones on Metru Nui drew their energy from the power plant in the Coliseum. When the plant was knocked offline by Teridax, the Lightstones went dark, but some on Metru Nui and most on Mata Nui continued to glow, receiving their power from Karda Nui.

Spoiler Warning: Plot or ending details follow. (Please highlight the white space below if applicable)

There are six giant Lightstones within the Codrex, placed there by the Great Beings. When Makuta Antroz hijacked the Jetrax T6, the vehicle accidentally hit one of the Lightstones and was temporarily super-charged with raw energy.

These lightstones were intended to be charged with energy provided by a Toa, and sent to Mata Nui to revive him from his slumber. The Toa Nuva began this process, but knew that they did not have the time to wait for the charging to finish. They realized the Ignika could provide the energy needed to do the process in its entirety, and convinced it to sacrifice it's newfound life to do the job. The Ignika charged all of the lightstones simultaneously, and the energy released awoke the Great Spirit, beginning the Energy Storms.
