Physical
A lot of confusion surrounds the name of this stone. Merlinite is actually a
made-up name for Dendritic Opal. Sometimes the name is also applied to Dendritic
Agate, and other times to the druzy form of a black mineral called Psilomelane.
Merlinite has been used in the treatment of skeletal structures and disorders
of the veins and arteries. It is also said to promote physical growth and to
facilitate the flow of blood through the body. It is a cleansing mineral for
the body and one which can enhance lymph flow and excretion. It also helps with
both the effects of colds and the effects of smoking too.
Mental/Emotional
Merlinite can help us to remain both open and approachable even though we may
have suffered from bad experiences ourselves. It promotes better contact with
our environment and with our fellow human beings too. Merlinite can also enhance
our organisational capabilities.
Spiritual
Merlinite both promotes our levels of contact with spirit and also aids our
own spiritual growth. It is a stone of magic, reminding us of the memories
of wizards and alchemists. It's black and white colouring is said to blend
heavenly and earthly vibrations together allowing us access to the spirit
and shamanic realms and to the Akashic Records too. Merlinite lets us bring
magic into our lives.
