About Rhyolite –

Rhyolite is a silica-rich volcanic rock, the lava-flow equivalent of granite. Decorative forms such as Rainforest Jasper show orbs, bands and speckles in greens, creams and browns.

It forms when sticky, silica-rich lava erupts and cools quickly at the surface, often trapping spherulites and flow bands.

Cool Facts –

Rhyolite is a volcanic rock with the same chemistry as granite, cooled quickly at the surface.

Rainforest jasper and leopardskin jasper are both rhyolites, not true jaspers.

Its name comes from the Greek rhyax, a stream of lava.

Glen Coe in the Scottish Highlands is the remains of an ancient volcano where rhyolite lavas erupted around 420 million years ago.
