Gabbro (Madagascar) Large

A stone of spiritual growth : Gabbro invites us to embrace change and personal growth. Most Gabbro stones are dark in colour, but this magnificent deposit found in Madagascar has a striking balance of black and purple/blue/grey hues. Gabbro from this specific deposit is often referred to as "Indigo Gabbro".

Gabbro kick-starts our spiritual journey and encourages us to seek and find our true selves. It grounds our spiritual beliefs, encouraging us to truly live by them instead of just talking about them. Its mantra is that our life is our religion, and that our behaviour is the true reflection of our real spiritual beliefs. However, it also reminds us that we are fully capable of growth, and that we can change if our actions do not match our beliefs. It aids us in taking the necessary steps in order to live a life of greater integrity. Gabbro amplifies the energy vibrations of other stones, and is attuned to the solar plexus chakra.

This powerful stone is grounding and inspiring. It encourages us to look at our lives from a place of logic and assists us in finding practical solutions that will lead us to a place of peace and good energy. It boosts confidence and encourages us to walk in our own power. It exudes an expansive energy, helping us to broaden our thinking and to activate our dreams. It is especially helpful for those with a victim mentality, or those that are not in control of their own destiny. Gabbro reminds us that we are in the driving seat and that we have the ability to shape the outcome of our life. It inspires patience through seasons of personal growth, whilst keeping us determined and motivated to stay on track with our journey. It helps us find a healthy balance and reminds us to be thankful for what we already have whilst striving to grow in other areas.

Gabbro inspires us to do the inner work, and to think deeply about our habits and way of life. It gently encourages us to question if these habits are serving us or whether they are actually holding us back on our journey of growth. It reminds us that we have the ability to change our behaviour whilst boosting our confidence and inner strength in order to take action.

It is used by many alternative healers in the treatment of the feet and skeletal system, and is said to be particularly helpful in healing the spine and the skull from traumatic physical injury such as brain damage.

Gabbro is a fairly common stone, available in many locations worldwide, however, Indigo Gabbro is a rare form found only in Madagascar.
