This is a lovely INDIGO GABBRO crystal pyramid. It has been here charging with Synergy for 10+ years. Shown next to a US quarter coin for size comparison. The stone itself is from Madagascar. In recent years, people have begun to call this stone "Mystic Merlinite" sometimes, which is a trade name. It has beautiful dark purple, grey-ish purple, and lavender patterns with black marbling throughout. The black inclusions are made up of Hornblende content, and some of these areas have a silvery chatoyant / shimmery quality that catches the light as you move the stone around in your hands. Extra fabulous in bright light / sunlight.
There are a few tiny organic spots here and there. These come from inclusions that were close to the surface as the stone was polished. They can be found on flat surfaces, edges, or around the corners/points. I inspect each piece carefully before photographing. ALL inclusions present come from 100% natural formations in the crystal. Much nicer than the photos can show! Check out how it works with subtle energies below.
It weighs about 3.8oz and measures about 2 1 1/16" inches long on each side X about 1 3/16" inches tall. Code-010823-114
Indigo Gabbro (or Gabro) AKA "Mystic Merlinite, a trade name" is a very powerful stone, said to offer a sense of wellbeing and peace. It is also thought to augment or boost the power of the mind and one's imagination to affect the physical world and to increase one's intuition - which aids in psychic development.
It is also used for protection, as it supports compassionate detachment and discourages others from tapping into your energy and draining you; it is a strong protection from Psychic Vampires.
It also encourages and supports anyone going through intense changes and assists with emotional tranquility, stability, courage and patience. In these ways it is a good stone to use during divination of various forms.
Indigo Gabbro is also said to lead one towards agreeability and bring about abundance, success, and prosperity. It is also used to improve self-esteem and strengthen positive personality traits and decrease stress levels.
Indigo Gabbro has a high amount of Hornblende which may cause beautiful a “cat’s eye” chatoyancy or a shimmering that is scattered throughout the stone. It is associated with the sign of Libra or the Seventh House.
In Crystal Healing Indigo Gabbro is used to regulate metabolism, support and aid the digestive system and help with skin disorders.
Indigo Gabbro is associated with the Heart and Third Eye Chakra. It is therefore also a stone of love and friendship.
Native legends speak of crystal skulls as an inheritance from ancient times. Said to “talk and sing” they are believed to carry messages for all mankind, including what may be discovered when we overcome our fear of death.
