1821 T. Nuttall in Jrnl. Acad. Nat. Sci. Philadelphia 2 i. 50 (note) To avoid ambiguity and confusion, it seems to me necessary to designate the ‘hone-stone’ of the Washita by a particular name... I shall therefore, in reference to its prevailing color, give it the trivial name of Galactite.

1859 N. F. Moore Anc. Mineral. (ed. 2) 138 Another substance closely related to melilites and galactites was morochthus, by some called galaxias.

1946 Harvard Theol. Rev. 39 28 Galactite, an unidentified stone, evidently whitish, was supposed to promote the flow of milk in women and animals.

†2. Mineralogy. A siliceous mineral subsequently identified with natrolite. Obsolete.
