Merlinite, Mystic Merlinite, Blizzard Stone?

Indigo Gabbro is not to be confused with Merlinite, which is a dentritic agate, and which is itself also often confused as a type of opal. Indigo Gabbro is also often confused with Blizzard Stone, which is a different type of Gabbro found in Alaska. Here's a great read from Hibiscus Moon that untangles the confusion between the different names.

Just keep in mind that, Blizzard Stone, also being a type of Gabbro, will have many similar metaphysical properties.
