Mahogany Obsidian
Black is the most common color of obsidian. However, it can also be brown, tan, or green. Rarely, obsidian can be blue, red, orange, or yellow. The colors are thought to be caused mainly by trace elements or inclusions.
Occasionally two colors of obsidian will be swirled together in a single specimen. The most common color combination is black and brown obsidian swirled together - that's called "mahogany obsidian".

Obsidian is considered a durable material and can be safely cleaned using a soft cloth and soapy water. Soap residue can build up on it, so rinse well and polish after. As with most gemstones, ultrasonic cleaners and steamers are not recommended. Take care to store obsidian in a soft case away from hard objects as it can be easily scratched.
