Excellent decorative sphere crafted from a unique mahogany-colored obsidian, originating from early 20th-century France.
This piece is a truly remarkable decorative object, both for its perfectly spherical shape and its distinctive material: mahogany-colored obsidian.
Mahogany obsidian is a type of volcanic glass of igneous origin, characterized by the presence of iron oxide inclusions that create reddish-brown veins or spots on a black background. It forms from the rapid cooling of silica-rich lavas, which prevents the crystallization of minerals and results in an amorphous structure. From a mineralogical perspective, it shares the physical properties of common obsidian, such as its conchoidal fracture and high relative hardness. Its unique coloring made it a prized material in antiquity for crafting cutting tools, as well as for creating ornamental and artistic objects.
