The coloration in mahogany obsidian is thought to come from hematite included in the glass as it cools from volcanoes. Also said that iron impurities cause the reddish / brown color. This leads to the large, rust-colored bands and spots in the stone. You’ll sometimes hear this variety referred to as red obsidian. Volcanic glass - a rock rather than a mineral, it is a mixture of cryptocrystalline grains of silica minerals in a glass-like suspension, a super-cooled liquid. Obsidian is formed in the latest stage of volcanic eruptions, the silica left over after most of the other elements and water have been used up are ejected or flow out and rapidly chilled at surface temperatures. The stone is wet in these photos. This is what the stone will look like after its been tumbled and polished. Showing the stone in this state shows its true potential.
