Obsidian is a naturally occurring volcanic glass formed when lava extruded from a volcano cools rapidly with minimal crystal growth. Obsidian is produced from felsic lava, which is rich in lighter elements such as silicon, oxygen, aluminum, sodium, and potassium. When felsic lava cools rapidly at the edges of a lava flow or volcanic dome, or when lava cools during sudden contact with water or air, obsidian is formed. Although Obsidian is mineral like, it is not considered a true mineral because it is not crystalline, and the composition varies too much to be classified consistently. Obsidian has been used by humans since ancient times, and has been valued for its practical uses, aesthetic qualities, as well as its healing and metaphysical properties for thousands of years. The earliest known uses of Obsidian date back to pre-human tools as far back as 700,000 years ago. Obsidian was widely used by stone age peoples around the world to make knives, arrowheads, spear points, and other practical tools. However it was also valued for other less practical items, such a being fashioned into jewelry, beads, mirrors, statuettes, and other ornaments. Obsidian derives its name from the Latin term lapis obsidianus, which comes from the name of a Roman explorer known as Obsidius. Although Obsidian is usually thought of as being solid black, there are in fact numerous other colors and patterns it can appear in. Obsidian can appear in black, grey, silver, gold, various shades of red, orange, tan, purple, yellow, blue, green, and other colors. Additionally, there is an assortment of patterns that can appear such as rainbow like banding, spider web patterns, spots, or other shapes, and some types have a range of optical illusions associated with them. Mahogany Obsidian is one of the most popular and visually appealing types of Obsidian, and is known for its reddish brown and black coloration that is reminiscent of Mahogany wood. The red or brown color in Mahogany Obsidian comes from iron rich Hematite or Magnetite being present during formation, and once oxidized it produces a classic rusty brown hue. The colors and patterns in Mahogany Obsidian can vary widely. It can be black or red dominant, and the inclusions can range from small spots to larger splashes of color, and some even feature more line like inclusions. No matter the color combination or style of the inclusions Mahogany Obsidian is always a stunning looking stone. Mahogany Obsidian is a fairly hard and durable stone, with a 5-6 rating on the Mohs hardness scale, which makes it a fantastic and long lasting material for use in guitar picks.
