Mystic Merlinite (Indigo Gabbro)

Mystic Merlinite, also known as Indigo Gabbro, is a striking black and purple stone that originates from Madagascar's vast geological terrains. Gabbro is an intrusive igneous rock composed mainly of feldspar and multiple other minerals, including quartz, chlorite, serpentine, and muscovite. The indigo and purple hues in Mystic Merlinite primarily result from the oxidation of iron, along with several other transition metals within a gabbro stone formation.

Found in Madagascar's vast and remote regions, Mystic Merlinite is extracted from quarries that delve into the ancient bedrock. The stone's name, reminiscent of the wizard Merlin, evokes a sense of magic and mystery which is closely tied to its metaphysical properties. Enthusiasts of crystal healing consider Mystic Merlinite to be a stone of duality, encompassing light and dark, and it's said to promote a deep understanding of the self and the environment. The stone is also associated with the enhancement of intuition, encouraging one to embrace the full spectrum of their existence, from shadow to light.
