Can you retrieve a discarded item in No Mans Sky?

I was wondering if it is at all possible to retrieve a discarded item? I recently miss clicked when not paying attention and discarded an atlas stone which seems to be pretty valuable... I thought it was a fascination bead, doh...

Solution 1:

A possible solution could be to reload from a previous save! This depends heavily of course on the last time you saved the game though, although saves do occur frequently.

Solution 2:

As of right now, there is no way to recover discarded items. Once it's gone, it's gone. Consider it a lesson in double checking and close reading.

While I cannot find a solid online source for this, from my own experience with the game, there is no way.
