What is Galaxyite?
An unknown material until recently, galaxyite is a rock that contains microsized labradorite crystals embedded in a large feldspar matrix. The only known locality of this material, for now, is Quebec, Canada. Reportedly, it was named after its resemblance to the night sky. It should not be confused with the mineral Galaxite.
