Where Does It Come From

This stone currently comes from only one mine in New Mexico. It is a variety of Dendritic Opal... and sometimes has an opalescent sheen. It may contain a blend of white quartz, black dendritic inclusions and black Psilomelane... depending on the individual stone.

Merlinite is black and white... although its black color ranges from dark grey to bluish-black. The black may be Psilomelane or Romanechite... or it may be Black Dendritic inclusions within the stone.

These dendritic inclusions resemble a leafy plant... similar to a fern and are easy to spot. The Psilomelane is a black mineral that is a manganese oxide.

Please Note: This is not the same stone that they are calling Mystic Merlinite. The stone they call Mystic Merlinite is the same stone as Blizzard Stone... or Gabbro as it used to be called... and is a different stone altogether from the stone that I am talking about on this page.

How To Use It

This crystal was named after the wizard Merlin... because of its specific attributes to attract magical and mystical experiences into your life. Merlinite will allow you to take journeys to past lives in the times when Merlin and King Arthur lived.

If you sleep with one of these stones under your pillow... you may find that you have more restful sleep.

You may also experience vivid dreams of past lives... especially those you experienced in the Arthurian times.

This is a stone that aids travel out of the body... vision quests of a shamanistic nature. It may take you to specific location and to visit specific people there.

Note: You need to specifically direct your journey for it to be successful. If you wish to get you to where you want to go... simply hoping for the best will not make you succeed. It takes specific in-depth working with this stone for this type of journey to be successful. Make sure you keep psychic protection stones on you while you are doing this work.

Combining It With Other Stones

If you are using these stones specifically for shamanic journeying... other stones to combine with them include Shaman Stones, Iolite, Fulgurite and Covellite.

Use it with Moldavite to raise this stone's vibration even higher. For increasing intuition and magical abilities combine this stone with either Clear Quartz Crystals, Chalcopyrite, Labradorite, Shungite or Rainbow Moonstone... which are all strong stones to enhance mystical and magical abilities. Shungite is a potent stone to aid you to bring through the wizard Merlin.... as it resonates with ancient spiritual energies.

It has the potential to aid you to communicate with nature spirits... and combining it with other stones that also have these qualities such as Muscovite, Green Moss Agate, Green Tourmaline, Tree Agate, Prasiolite, Rainforest Jasper and Fuchsite will boost this energy.

Because these are strong stones for doing past life work, where you may need psychic protection... it is best to always combine this stone with psychic protection stones.

Protection stones that combine well are Sugilite, Amethyst Crystals, Obsidian Stone or Black Tourmaline. Both Amethyst Crystals and Sugilite will also boost its ability to stimulate psychic gifts... and combining it with Goethite, Axinite or Chiastolite may enhance access to the akashic records.
