Mahogany Obsidian

Obsidian forms from molten lava in the last stages of volcanic eruptions, the remaining silica minerals flow onto the surface and cool rapidly into glass before crystallization can occur. The colour of pure Obsidian is black, but there are other variations depending on inclusions of crystals where the lava cooled slower. The most common are mahogany, snowflake (white spots of crystobalite), rainbow and gold-sheen.


Mahogany obsidian is a mixture of black and reddish brown. Like the black obsidian it is grounding and protective, but can feel easier and less intense than the black.


Mahogany obsidian helps to clear the root and sacral chakras of negative energy and residue from old wounds. It can help to clear the energy of unconscious memories of shame, humiliation or abuse. It aids in dispelling feelings of unworthiness that can hold one back from fulfilling one’s potential in work, love and spiritual awakening.


Mahogany obsidian boosts energy and provides strength in times of need, revitalising one’s power, drive and initiative.
