mahogany obsidian is a glassy, silica – rich volcanic rock with an amorphous structure and a hardness of 5 to 5.5. It is black with reddish brown spots. It is named after the prominent ancient Roman, Obsius. Mahogany Obsidian can help cleanse the second chakra of negative energies and residue from old wounds. Such fixations can block the flow of one’s creative energies or create problems in the full expression of one’s sexuality, so it is important work to make sure this chakra operates freely. Using Mahogany Obsidian in a body layout, between the first and second chakras, one can “draw out the poison” of unconscious memories of shame, humiliation or abuse, releasing them into the Light. 

Mahogany Obsidian can remove negative psychic “implants” that hold one back in other areas. It is ideal for dispelling feelings of unworthiness that hold one back from fulfilling one’s potential in work, love and spiritual awakening. Carrying or wearing Mahogany Obsidian shields one from psychic attack, whether it be from nonphysical entities or other people. It’s a bit like having an etheric bodyguard! Mahogany Obsidian works harmoniously with Tibetan Black Quartz, Sugilite and Black Tourmaline, in regard to providing psychic protection. Zincite helps in healing wounds to the second chakra. Bringing in Moldavite is useful in helping one move beyond past limitations.
