It's a kyber crystal. It's...not quite alive or intelligent, the way people are, but it's, hmm, spiritually alive? Very attuned to the Force. It can act as a focus of the Force sensitive person's connection to the Force. Every crystal is a little different, and may or may not match, um, optimally with a particular person.
Once the oldest traditions for Force using sects, including the Jedi, is going to a place where there's a concentration of kyber crystal as a rite of passage. The Force acts in special ways in those sorts of places. Draws out hopes and fears. Shows connections. Gives visions to people not prone to visions most of the time.
Whatever your experience is, the idea is the ordeal can bring you to a crystal you're suited to.
That day, I'd already had visions of fears that felt completely real. Talking to Yoda was just the last bit.
Oh, and for Jedi, the kyber you get is traditionally the heart and focus of your lightsaber.
