Galaxite Crystal Meaning & Properties
Starry feldspar-labradorite blend for cosmic perspective and grounded wonder.
Galaxite is a trade name for a starry-looking variety of labradorite or feldspar, chosen for cosmic perspective and grounded wonder.
A Brief Introduction
Starry Feldspar
Galaxite is a trade name for a starry-looking variety of feldspar or labradorite-rich rock where tiny reflective inclusions create scattered flashes against a dark background. When polished, the surface can resemble a night sky filled with distant stars. With feldspar-level hardness, it is suitable for beads, palm stones and cabochons treated with normal care. In crystal work it is chosen for cosmic perspective, intuitive guidance and staying grounded while you reach for bigger visions.

Origin & History
Where Galaxite comes from and how people have worked with it over time.
Galaxite is not a single mineral species but a trade name applied to dark, feldspar-rich stones—often with labradorite components—where small reflective inclusions create a starry appearance. These may include tiny feldspar crystals, plagioclase lamellae or other reflective mineral grains. The stone became popular in the metaphysical market as a companion to other "cosmic" stones, serving as a more affordable and durable option compared with some rarer space-associated minerals. Symbolically, Galaxite is associated with cosmic connection, intuitive guidance and keeping your feet on the ground while your imagination explores larger possibilities.
