Dendritic Opal is a form of common Opal that has dark dendritic, tubular or orbicular markings within the base Opal, which can be composed of Manganese, the dendrites (plumes) often appear to be shaped like mosses, ferns or trees.

Merlinite is a stone of magic, shadows and descent into the darkest, deepest places within one’s being. It takes the heart- centred energy of Manganese to its deepest level, descending into the depths of the heart and the darkest places of shadow within oneself. It reveals one’s deepest motivations and assists in connecting with and integrating the shadow self. It aids in recognising one’s most basic nature as a creation of the mind of the Divine, leading one into the void of potential from which all was created. It is a powerful ally for shamanic work, magical practises and healing. Resonance with Merlinite’s frequency connects one with the Universal flow behind all of creation. It can help one become more aware of the subtle movement of energy, as well as opening one’s psychic centres and higher perception.

It is extremely useful for those who tend to receive negative imagery, feelings or information when opening on a psychic level. If the information is necessary in order to assist another, it will protect one from embodying these difficult energies and can aid one in remaining objective. If the information is not necessary, but is coming in because of one’s own state of resonance with these levels, Merlinite can help one move beyond these frequencies into more Light- centred energies. Merlinite can help Light workers understand how to utilise lower- frequency energy effectively. You can’t have a rainbow with just the colour purple. Similarly, you cannot deny your lower aspects and expect to integrate them into the Light. By learning to access, utilise and master the lower frequencies of the electromagnetic (Light) spectrum, one becomes whole and enlightened, embodying the balance of all polarities with wisdom and acceptance. In this way, Merlinite is truly a stone of self- mastery. Merlinite is a stone of wisdom, allowing one to understand that the greatest beauty of life lies in its mystery. Merlinite can aid one in developing patience and comprehending that one’s desires do not necessarily equate to one’s needs. Merlinite can assist one in achieving balance between the light and the dark— between the known and the unknown.

Merlinite’s energy is uniquely suited for work with natural energies and so is an excellent tool for shamans, Wiccans and others on the path of accessing the power of creation through the natural world. It can help communicate with the archetypal energies of nature, such as plant devas, animal spirits and the elemental allies. It can aid in honing one’s ability to perceive beyond the physical realm and into the spiritual and energetic realms. Its energy gives one the courage to face one’s shadow self and consciously integrate that aspect.

Emotionally, Shame, blame and self- loathing are all caused by the inability to accept all aspects of oneself. Merlinite’s energy allows one to see that there are no mistakes— only learning experiences. It can help one reconcile with the past, one’s mistakes, one’s less- than- enlightened desires and other aspects of oneself that one may wish to deny. It encourages self- forgiveness, self- acceptance and self- love. It can also assist one in working through grief and loss, as it reminds one that spirit is eternal and lasts beyond the physical.
