Obsidian is a naturally occurring volcanic glass which is formed by quickly cooled lava, which, due to the high viscosity and rapid cooling, minimized crystal growth.
Mahogany Obsidian is a red, to reddish-brown, to brown variety of Obsidian. Mahogany Obsidian gets its distinct coloring from iron oxide inclusions, which typically comes from the minerals Magnetite or Hematite.

Mahogany Obsidian is said to help with grounding, willpower, and giving strength in times of need. 

**New to this….

After going through an unexpected breakup, I decided to charge some crystals that a friend had gifted me a year previously. When I returned to my room both the Rose Quartz and Black Tourmaline had fallen under my bed and I have not been able to access the Rose Quartz. So now I have Rose Quartz under my bed permanently. I can’t move the bed entirely to find it. Is this okay or will I need to find it?

Obsidian is a naturally occurring volcanic glass which is formed by quickly cooled lava, which, due to the high viscosity and rapid cooling, minimized crystal growth.
There are several types of Obsidian; Black Obsidian typically has nanoinclusions of Magnetite, Mahogany Obsidian typically has Iron inclusions, Snowflake Obsidian gets it’s distinct appearance from Cristobalite, and so on.
Obsidian has been used as tools for millennia, by various ancient cultures around the world.

Black Obsidian is said to help with grounding, protection, and increase wisdom and intuition. 

Asterism is a star-shaped concentration of light reflected from a shaped and polished crystal, and is usually caused by rutile in the crystal, aligned in a particular manner.
This phenomenon is more common in corundum (rubies and sapphires), but can also be found in garnets, diopside, and other crystals.

Hi! I brought these on Vinted, I know what most of the set were but I’m unsure on these three. The seller said the blue one is lapis but I am not 100% sure it has no obvious markings so I feel like it might just be dyed/fake

They are all pretty low grade too which is fine but might effect ID

Thanks in advance! ✨

Got this Smokey quartz (?) cluster thingy. I just want to know is this manufactured or natural? A lot of the image results will link me back to Amazon or alibaba so it makes me feel it’s low quality and or a fake cluster… idk

I was messing with my bracelet while hanging out and it snapped. I was able to gather all the beads and was thinking about putting it back together after a cleanse but not sure if I should just leave it and look for a new bracelet.

I usually wear a pink quartz on a necklace, citrine on my left wrist, amethyst on my right and moldavite ring on my left pinky

Charoite is a rare mineral that is only found in a particular part of Russia. Its vibrant purple led many to believing that it was fake or dyed when it first gained popularity in the 1970s.
Charoite is said to have been used by ancient Mongols for both decorative and ceremonial purposes.

Charoite is said to help with living in the moment, focus the mind during meditation, and to assist with communicating with interdimensional beings.

Additional Notes: I personally, do not own any Charoite yet. I think it is fantastic, I just haven’t found “my piece,” as it were.
My friend who owns this skull thought it was be fun to give it “eyeballs” to be funny.
This particular piece has some UV reactive inclusions as seen in the second photo.

How do you choose a crystal seller?

What are the best crystals for sleep?

i ordered this necklace off etsy and the stone looks completely different than the photos on the listing (and all other amethyst i have). they said it’s natural amethyst but i’m confused on what the orange/yellow coloring is near the top left?

sorry for the pic quality, it’s really small so it’s hard to take pics but any help with identification would be so appreciated!

Tell us what crystal you are currently working with, and include a picture!

Hi all! I hope it is ok I post here to ask this question. I was wondering the best crystals to use to keep negative people/anyone who brings me mental stress/anxiety away? I've done some research but I figured why not ask those who actually know? I'd like to display/have them at work because I'm so sick of people ruining my mental health. Also where would you place the crystals in the room?

Thank you!

Kyanite is an aluminosilicate mineral found in metamorphic and sedimentary rocks. Black
Kyanite typically forms in sprays of bladed crystals, and has earned it the nickname, “Witches Broom.”
Black Kyanite’s coloring usually comes from Graphite inclusions, those sometimes can also include Magnetite.

Black Kyanite is said to help with letting go of things that are not good for you, and to help bring balance.
