Oh, and not realizing this was a bug, I bought a "random" color crystal for 100 Cartel Coins...and guess what, it's purple quality, too...so I can't use it either. I hope I will be able to once this is fixed; otherwise, I'd really like by 100 Coins back!
Various crystals across 5 characters have all been locked due to this bug. All are cartel purple crystals purchased off the GTN, with a couple of them being account-wide unlocks. The only character not having this issue has the artifact equipment unlock purchased for her. This is honestly pretty game breaking, as it cuts me down to only one real usable character out of 6, while also being pretty annoying that while being preferred status even crystals I have paid to account unlock are being held back because I don't have the proper authorization to use them.
