At Moonrise Crystals we believe that there’s a crystal for every person and every situation. This Mahogany Obsidian was gifted to a very special person. They were nominated by someone who loves them very much.
She’s been feeling a little down lately. Things are okay, but she’s not working right now and finances are tight.

A few weeks ago, her friend and mentor passed away, so now her heart is grieving too. Things feel a bit darker than they did before.
Another friend sees the sorrow and uncertainty. She wants her to know that she is loved and that everything is going to be alright.
