Description from the seller
A first-choice sphere of Red Mottled Mahogany Obsidian.
Designed to highlight the details of its intricate pattern and the depth created by the strong contrast of colors, this precious collectible item is truly a unique and attractive piece.
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.
