The Patch 1.2 notes say:
- Several unusual crystal formations have been reported in the mountainous regions of Alderaan.
Where exactly are these crystals and what are they (what are they used for)? My character is an artificer so I'm hoping it's something good, but I don't want to scour Alderaan if not.
If you want to make sure you got all the datacrons on a specific planet, look at the Codex entry for that planet and then click on the magnifying glass. It shows your progress on that planet, including how many of the datacrons you have:
As for the rewards from datacrons, it seems it's only stats boosts and matrix shards, but I can't say that for certain.
Number of light sabers depends on your advanced class.
Jedi Guardian - Sith Juggernaut - 1 Lightsaber
Jedi Sentinel - Sith Marauder - 2 lightsabers
Jedi Sage - Sith Sorcerer - 1 Lightsaber
Jedi Shadow - Sith Assassin - 1 Double
So no, you cant have 3 lightsabers on the same fight.

Kappei's right, Alderaan now has an Unusual Crystal Formations that each yield a Rough Magenta Crystal Shard. These formations do not show up as resource nodes on the map.
To get a Pristine Adegan Crystal from one of these Rough Magenta Crystal Shards, use the Ancient Crystal Tuning Device at (-136, +892, +88) in The Forge on Tython (this is near the matrix shard datacron). For Imperials, there's a tuner on Korriban at the far west end of the Lower Wilds behind a wall: (+176, +4, -182) (thanks cwsample). See How do I get a Magenta Lightsaber Crystal? for how to use these Pristine crystals!
There are three separate nodes with two or three spawn locations each. The spawn time is two hours (separate for each node, like all resource nodes) and each node rotates through the spawn locations linearly; it's not random.
Node 1, cliffside on the South Fornak River in Kaamos Territory:
You need to jump down the hillside to get to it; if you start off at the wrong spot use
/stuckto reset to the top of the hill rather than needing to go around and up it again.This first screenshot is at the first set of coordinates, with the second set circled:

Node 2, hills near the Organa Medical Camp in The Juran Mountains:

Node 3, rocks beside the steps into the Thul Palace Courtyard in The Juran Mountains:
Here you can see me at one spawn point with the other two circled:
