Warm reddish-brown flows through deep volcanic black in bands that wrap the whole surface, polished to a clean even shine. It's a satisfying weight to pick up, and the earthy colouring makes it far easier to place in a living room than a stone that reads as flatly black.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMahogany obsidian is the \u003cstrong\u003egrounding\u003c\/strong\u003e member of the obsidian family, connected to the \u003cstrong\u003eroot\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003esacral chakras\u003c\/strong\u003e. Where black obsidian has a reputation for being confronting and snowflake obsidian for being gentle, this one is usually described as fortifying, the stone for building \u003cstrong\u003estrength\u003c\/strong\u003e and moving an intention into actual action. It's also associated with \u003cstrong\u003eprotection\u003c\/strong\u003e and with clearing what feels stagnant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eA closer look at this specimen\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eObsidian is volcanic glass, formed when lava cools too fast for crystals to grow inside it. The brown here comes from oxidized iron, largely hematite, caught in the melt and spread unevenly through the glass, which is exactly why the banding is different on every piece. Nothing is dyed and nothing is heat-treated. Because the colouring runs right through the stone rather than sitting on the surface, the pattern you see is genuinely structural.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStone:\u003c\/strong\u003e Natural mahogany obsidian, not treated, not dyed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eForm \u0026amp; size:\u003c\/strong\u003e Polished sphere, 88mm (3.5 in) diameter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 900g (2 lb)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black with warm reddish-brown banding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChakras:\u003c\/strong\u003e Root and sacral\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eLiving with your sphere\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA stand or shallow dish keeps it in place, and it looks particularly good on wood or against a light wall where the brown has something to play off. It's a comfortable size to hold during meditation, heavy enough to feel steadying without being awkward. Obsidian chips more readily than most stones of similar weight, so set it down gently and keep it clear of hard edges. Dust with a dry soft cloth and skip cleaning products entirely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePlease note: crystals are not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
