Gabbro
Mystic Merlinite
Monkey Island South Island NZ
 
Genuine New Zealand Gabbro sourced  from Orepuki  at the bottom of the South Island NZ. Gabbro is a rock that is made up of calcium rich plagioclase feldspar and pyroxene, usually augite. Gabbro is found in a variety of locations like mid-ocean ridges or in ancient mountains composed of compressed and uplifted oceanic crust and has even been discovered on the moon. 
It is believed that Gabbro also known as Mystic Merlinite helps one to focus on knowledge and insight. It's said to help people learn about their innermost selves, and concentrates more on traits like strength and courage. Some even associate it with love.
