A stone used for millennia in both toolmaking and ritual, Obsidian is a form of naturally occurring glass, formed when volcanic lava cools rapidly. It’s a powerful stone known for its ability to reveal hidden truths, dissolve energetic blockages, and support deep emotional healing. Mahogany Obsidian, specifically, is an opaque brownish-red variety that’s mottled with black and displays a glassy, reflective surface.

More About Obsidian:

Obsidian is the most abundant form of naturally occurring glass, the result of volcanic lava cooling quickly. Technically Obsidian may have any composition, but usually it’s a glass with inclusions of Hematite and Rhyolite. Because it’s easy to chip and forms a sharp point, it has been an invaluable material for toolmaking throughout history, thus contributing to the evolution of the human race’s evolution. Many cultures also used it to make mirrors and figurines. In fact, one way archaeologists can trace the development of trade is by testing the composition of Obsidian objects found along trade routes to find out where it originated, and thus how far it had traveled. More recently, Obsidian lore has made its way into popular culture as “dragon glass” in Game of Thrones, or as a “witch’s blade.”

Obsidian breaks easily and forms sharp edges, so be careful you don’t get cut, and keep this in mind if children will handle it. When buying Obsidian, be careful of sellers promoting Obsidian in various bright colors; this material is usually fake.
