Gabbro is also known as the "Blizzard Stone" or "Mystic Merlinite."
It is an excellent ascension stone; highly grounding and elevating at the same time. It aligns chakras, gradually stimulates kundalini and is wonderful for shamanic journeying. It is a great stone for Empaths, Earth Workers and others who suffer from "energetic overload" and prone to spaciness, headaches and dizziness.
