Stardust
Stardust is an optional collectible that can be found through out most of the game. You can start collecting it as early as your first visit in Seles, but it has no scripted use until you meet Martel in the city of Bale. There, she gives you a brief history of the stones, as well as offering rewards for bringing her all the Stardust you can find. She describes them as miracle stones that will grant your wish if you manage to collect them all. There are 50 in total, and you must collect all of them in order to fight the optional boss Magician Faust on Disc 3.
Story

Martel doesn't initially reveal why she needs you to collect Stardust for her. It isn't until you find her in her home in Rouge, standing beside Lil, her bedridden sick daughter, that she explains what her wish is. Once she has all of the Stardust in her possession, it turns out the rumors were true. Martel's wish completely heals her daughter of her sickness.
Stardust has not always been around. It appeared some time after the war broke out in Serdio, between Sandora and Basil. The Winglies in Ulara observed the war brewing, and decided to give humans hope by creating small particles that have symbolism. It was scattered across many lands, including Serdio. Eventually, a rumor brewed that it can grant one's wish or bring good fortune. There are more than 50 pieces; that's just the lore-removed total that the player can collect.
