Lazurite Crystal

This gem is Sailor Galaxia's Sailor Crystal. Its Japanese name draws on the word for the blue mineral lazurite, the substance that makes up most of lapis lazuli, a stone the ancient Greeks grouped under the term sapphire.

English editions of the manga have not settled on one label. The earliest translation and the 2011 reprint both went with "Sapphire," while the 2020 Eternal Edition switched to "Lazurite."

A rounded, bordered gemstone sits at the heart of the design. Four arms reach out toward the compass points, each capped by a small colored stone. Reading clockwise from the top, those stones run yellow, red, blue, and green, with a trio of evenly spaced spikes filling every gap.

Galaxia calls the crystal the deadliest force in the entire galaxy, outmatched only by the healing power of Sailor Moon's Silver Crystal. In her warrior guise she pins it to her chest as a brooch, and she draws on it to assume her Senshi form without ever speaking a transformation phrase. When her Galactica Bracelets shatter, the crystal is the sole remnant left of her, echoing the fate of the countless victims whose Star Seeds she claimed. The final glimpse of it comes as Sailor Moon lifts it and cradles it while addressing Chibi Chibi.

Sailor Galaxia is the crystal's owner in the manga and in Sailor Moon Cosmos. In the 1990s anime, the Star Seed ejected from Galaxia glows crimson before turning into something new, yet the same chest brooch still appears there and across many stage musicals, where Chibi Chibi frequently stands in as that Star Seed. Notably, the crystal closely mirrors the look of Usagi's very first Transformation Brooch.
