This makes it the ideal protection crystal for under your pillow, it will give you the strength to ward off any energetic attacks that take place when you’re in your most vulnerable state. Mahogany Obsidian is more gentle than regular obsidian, which is why it can be kept so close to the head for hours on end. The crystalline structure of the stone is naturally protective, in ways that other crystals are not, but this is particularly true for psychic or energetic attacks. Some users have found that laying flat, with the stone placed on a selected region, will work to pull toxins right out of that area and dissolve them into thin air. Some energetic healers will use this stone as a tool for detoxification, as well as to reduce any physical tension that a client may be struggling with. Many claim that one of the most valuable healing properties of mahogany obsidian is the way in which it strengthens the kidneys, the liver and all other lower organs. Red obsidian is a stone of personal growth, working to bring all thoughts and ideas into fruition, with the intent that they might drive the user forward in life and cause them to take expansive action. Mahogany obsidian can offer strength, as well as tension relief. However, because iron is a much more common mineral in the Earth’s crust, it’s usually this one that ends up forming most of the red obsidian we enjoy today. Hematite and magnetite inclusions are believed to offer the same red and black bands within existing obsidian stone. It’s not only iron that can create red obsidian rock. These stones can be found anywhere where volcanic activity has been prevalent sometime in the last 5000 years. Mahogany Obsidian, also known as Red Obsidian stone or Mountain Mahogany, is a form of natural obsidian glass that happens to go slightly red when there are inclusions of iron within the crystalline formation.
