Crystal System...
Indigo Gabbro is a combination of several minerals within its mix such as Chlorite, Muscovite, Serpentine, Feldspar, Magnetite and several other lesser known minerals and metal elements in usually a dark blue/grey matrix of Chalcedony. This places it in the trigonal crystal system in the mineral class of oxides in the quartz group. Most items in the market place today are coming from areas in and around Madagascar.
The Gabbro in its name refers to a large group of dark igneous rock made of silicate that’s rich in iron and magnesium. It Is usually in shades of black with grey colored mottling.
It should be noted that some are also referring to this one as Mystic Merlinite which is NOT a classified mineral name. It is a trademark label someone created for this type of stone.
Application...
Indigo Gabbro has been wonderful to meditate with. It seemed to ground me nicely and at the same time open my crown chakra. It provided a very loving energy that seemed to hug me as I held it. Definitely one of those that provides an "ooooo" and then an "aahhh" effect. Just yummy!
Spiritually...
Indigo Gabbro provides a connection to our Higher Self and assists us in locating energy blockages within our body.

Folklore...
Ohhhh boy, there are loads of claims when called Mystic Merlinite that it came from the wizard Merlin in Arthurian lore. Again, take all those claims with a grain of salt, or even disregard, its a TRADE NAME not a type of stone. (there I got a mini rant in about renaming already cool rocks - followed by chuckles)
