Large Polished Mahogany Obsidian Sphere

Story

Millions of years ago, a volcanic eruption produced a flow of silica-rich lava that cooled so quickly it didn't have time to form crystals, resulting in this natural glass.

Maker / Origin

While this piece likely comes from a professional lapidary workshop rather than a single named artist, it represents a high level of technical skill.

Condition & Value

The sphere appears to be in excellent condition with a high-gloss, reflective finish. There are no obvious 'flea bites' or deep scratches visible in the photos, which is critical as obsidian is a glass and can chip easily.
