About Indigo Gabbro
Indigo Gabbro, often marketed under the name Mystic Merlinite, is an enchanting igneous rock composed primarily of feldspar, quartz, and various trace minerals that give it its signature swirling pattern of deep indigo, black, grey, and lavender hues. The marbled appearance resembles the night sky or a stormy nebula, making it a visually striking and energetically powerful stone.
This stone is not a jasper or traditional quartz, but rather a type of gabbro—a dense, coarse-grained rock formed from molten magma. It has a Mohs hardness of approximately 6 to 6.5, making it durable enough for jewellery and spiritual tools. The most well-known deposits of Indigo Gabbro are found in Madagascar.

It grounds mystical experiences into the body, making it an excellent tool for spiritual practitioners, energy workers, and those seeking profound inner knowledge.
As a manifestation stone, it aids in bringing higher guidance into material form. It supports clear intention setting aligned with soul purpose, especially during times of major life transitions or personal awakening. Use it in rituals, meditation, or crystal grids to anchor transformation and attract deeper truth.
Physical Healing Properties
Physically, Indigo Gabbro is believed to support the nervous system, enhance brain function, and aid in recovering from energetic burnout. It is often used to relieve headaches and tension, especially those caused by overstimulation or spiritual overload.
Due to its grounding properties, it helps balance the body after intense healing work or emotional processing. Some practitioners also associate it with hormonal balance and the regulation of sleep patterns, particularly for those who experience vivid dreams or night terrors. In energy healing, it is commonly placed on the Third Eye or Root Chakra to integrate energy shifts and soothe the physical body.
