• Color: grey, black, deep purple

• Origin: Madagaskar

• Crystal Form/Structure: Gabbro is a plutonic rock that forms when magma cools and crystallizes under the Earth's surface. Gabbro is made up of plagioclase, piroxenes, and titanomagnetite. It can also contain olivine, magnetite, sulfetos, apatite, espinela, titanite, and rutilo.

• Hardness: 5.5-6 on the Mohs scale

• Ethically mined and produced: Gemrock only buys from legal providers (paper trail). Our Cabochons are exclusively produced by our in-house gemcutters. Our staff works under legal labor contracts, at higher than average salaries, and receives all labor benefits as well as excellency bonuses and a share in the companies’ profits.

• Environmentally friendly and carbon-neutral: Gemrock continuously works towards saving water and energy, and reducing waste along its entire production chain. The remaining impact is measured via carbon footprint evaluation and is neutralized by a reforestation project financed by a small percentage of our profits from each cabochon.

• Care Instructions: Clean your Indigo Gabbro by wiping it with a dry cloth.
