Obsidian, Mahogany

Mahogany Obsidian is natural glass obsidian that has inclusions of Magnetite or Haematite creating the mahogany coloured patches in it.

A hugely protective stone, this one is perfect for people who feel vulnerable to psychic or energy attack.

Mahogany Obsidian is often used to remove energy cords between people that sap energy and violate boundaries. It is also used for protection from psychic attacks by those who wish to harm (or those who don’t even intend to but their energy is negative or aggressive and might inadvertently do so). It is also said to strengthen the aura, protecting against repeated problems.

Wonderful at providing both grounding and protection, Mahogany Obsidian encourages strength in time of need. It eliminates energetic blockages, relieves tension and helps to stimulate growth on all levels.

When you want to reclaim your power Mahogany Obsidian is a great meditation tool for helping with re-connection.

A stone of focus, Mahogany Obsidian helps guide us to what we should be prioritising to make spiritual progress, while aiding with self-acceptance and self confidence.

Mahogany Obsidian is often used to aid in the decision making process. It allows us to make significant changes in the most challenging areas of our lives.
