AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A one-of-a-kind specimen, destined for the most discerning collectors or enthusiasts of prestigious minerals.
A Mahogany Obsidian sphere of Red Spotted Obsidian, nearly impossible to find due to its incredible quality.
Masterfully polished to highlight the details of its intricate pattern and the depth arising from the strong color contrast, this precious collectible item truly constitutes a unique attractive element.
Like all oxidines, the red variety is of volcanic origin.
The red color is generally due to significant inclusions of iron or copper oxide, which form in the glass during the rapid cooling of lava.
These peculiarities give the stone not only its characteristic red color but also a unique and variable appearance.
