Its symbols

Galaxite, discovered in Canada in 1995, features small inclusions of Labradorite that give it a sparkling and cosmic appearance reminiscent of galaxies. In fact, it bears its name as a tribute to our universe.

The Galaxite reminds you that everything is neither black nor white. Every situation has a reason to exist and the most difficult ones are also an opportunity to see what's hidden in the darkness. This stone invites you to explore your shadows, those parts of your being that are so difficult to get through, in order to discover the treasures that lie within.

Its benefits

Galaxite can be seen as a metaphor for the human connection to the stars and beings of light. It offers a link to higher dimensions for spiritual healing through travel and communication.

Galaxite mineralogy

Galaxite is created in igneous rocks by a process of magmatic differentiation.

The iridescent effect produced by its micro-crystals is called labradorescence. Belonging to the Feldspar family, Galaxite is mineralogically a variety of Labradorite.
Calcium, sodium and aluminum silicate are part of its chemical composition.

It is mined mainly in Canada, but is also found in various feldspar-rich regions.

Its hardness of 7 on the Mohs scale makes it a rather resistant stone.
