Indigo Gabbro, also known as "Mystic Merlinite," is a volcanic stone with a dark, often indigo or black, color. It's believed to have strong metaphysical properties related to spiritual growth, healing, and connecting with higher realms. Geologically, gabbro is a coarse-grained, dark-colored, intrusive igneous rock, meaning it cools slowly beneath the Earth's surface.
Metaphysical Properties:
Connection to Higher Realms: Indigo Gabbro is said to facilitate contact with elementals, the Devic kingdoms, and your Higher Self.
Shamanic Journeying: It's believed to support shamanic journeys, including astral travel and exploring past lives.
Soul Healing: It's thought to help gather up fragments of the soul that may have been lost or left behind.
Energy Balancing: Indigo Gabbro is believed to counteract the effects of an excess of either Yin or Yang energy.
Protection: It is said to protect both soul and body during astral travel and other spiritual endeavors.
Magical Power: It's believed to help harness the power that lies deep within, allowing you to step back from daily distractions and focus on your true potential.
Geological Properties:
Intrusive Igneous Rock: Gabbro is formed when magma cools slowly beneath the Earth's surface.
Composition: It is primarily composed of plagioclase feldspar, pyroxene (like augite), and can contain other minerals like olivine.
Texture: It has a coarse-grained texture, meaning the minerals are large enough to be seen with the naked eye.
Color: Gabbro is typically dark-colored, often black or dark green, due to the presence of dark minerals like pyroxene.
Uses: Gabbro is used as crushed stone in concrete aggregate, road base material, and railroad ballast. It can also be cut and polished for dimension stone, sometimes called black granite.
