Gabbro  is the mafic equivalent of granite and the deep rock equivalent of the effluent rock basalt. Deeper and therefore slower cooling has resulted in relatively larger crystals than in gangue dolerite. It is formed in the core of mafic volcanoes and beneath oceanic crust.

The minerals found in gabbro include Olivine, Pyroxene, Amphibole, Magnetite and Biotite. Feldspar (light-colored plagioclase) also occurs in the generally dark gabbro rocks.

In gabbro one will not find free quartz, unlike continental rock.

Other names for  Gabbro  in the world of gemstone therapy are ‘ Merlinite ‘ or ‘ Mystic Merlinite ‘.
