Crushed Mahogany Obsidian Powder from Mexico, Fine Crush (<0.25mm) for Inlay, Metaphysical Resin Art, or Pigment Applications

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.

EXTRA LISTING INFO

We prioritize providing high-quality materials for all artisans; therefore, our stones are natural and untreated unless otherwise specified. Photos may showcase both wet and dry crushed stone. Please note that wet stones can appear darker, which may resemble the finished look of the material after it's sealed with an adhesive.

We use the metric system for all size measurements, with units in millimeters (mm). Refer to the product photos for a visual guide using a metric ruler (cm/mm).
