Crushed Mahogany Obsidian Chips from Mexico, Pea-Sized Gravel (2mm-4mm) for Woodworking Inlay, Resin Art, Embellishments or Succulents

Obsidian is a volcanic rock that forms when silica-rich lava cools so quickly that crystals do not have time to develop, resulting in volcanic glass. Although obsidian commonly appears black, its color can vary. Mahogany obsidian contains iron (hematite), which gives it a reddish brown color that is often mixed with black obsidian. This particular crushed mahogany obsidian is from Mexico and is very clean and free of impurities.
