This Indigo Gabbro comes from artisanal miners working a granite-gabbro deposit in central Madagascar. Artisanal mining for granite typically has a low environmental impact and is relatively low risk for miners.

Lapidary / Gem Dealer

This lapidary hand polishes stones in Antananarivo, Madagascar. It is a woman-owned and family-run business. Factory workers have safe conditions and are paid fairly. The lapidary sells primarily at one major gem show in the United States. Every year the lapidary takes on a major charity project at a rural school. Previous projects have included installing bathrooms, creating a playground, and building a sunshelter for parents.

Sourcing Relationship

I first met the owner of the lapidary at the 2006 Gem and Mineral show in Tucson, Arizona. At that time I was working for a crystal shop in Utah and was at Tucson primarily as a “pack mule” to help carry all the stones. It was generally agreed by our crew that the “Madagascar” tent contained the most beautiful stones in the entire show.

In 2014, I embarked on my first buying trip for Moonrise Crystals. The company I knew of only as “Madagascar” was the one company I was most determined to find and buy from. This lapidary company only sells at a handful of major gem shows. The only time they are in the USA is for the Tucson Gem Show. During the rest of the year, the lapidary hand polishes their stock and also does charity work in their local community. They continue to offer some of the most beautiful tumbled stones in the industry and are among my favorite suppliers.

In 2019, Moonrise Crystals and the Madagascar lapidary company joined together to financially support a rural school in Madagascar. In 2022, we plan to build a library with books in Malagassi and French.

Indigo Gabbro Healing, Mineralogy, and History

Indigo Gabbro is a beautiful igneous rock found only in central Madagascar. It was introduced to the metaphysical market in the 21st century and is one of the stones of the New Age. Because it is so new, you may have seen it advertised as Black Granite, Blizzard Stone or even Mystic Merlinite! But it is in fact a lovely gabbro composed black Augite and purple/blue plagioclase feldspar. Indigo Gabbro has that rare combination of energy that both grounds and elevates. It can be used to magnify the energy of other stones too. It invites us to step into our own power and take charge of our life. […]
