Powers: Cleansing, Clarity, Transformation, Manifestation. Rhyolite is extrusive, which means it is igneous volcanic rock that is formed from volcanic magma that flows or explodes into the atmosphere, making it the chemical equivalent of granite. The composition of rhyolite is felsic: primarily igneous quartz and alkaline feldspars. Many gem deposits can be found in rhyolite. This happens when the thick granite-like lava that forms rhyolite cools quickly trapping pockets of gas inside the lava. The trapped gas forms cavities known as "vug" when the lava cools. Hydrothermal gases or ground water move through and precipitate in the vugs forming gem deposits of red beryl, topaz, agate, jasper, and opal. Rhyolite has been found in volcanic mountain ranges in Europe (especially Germany), as well as the Andes, Cascade Range, the Rocky Mountains and other volcanic regions in the Americas, Australia, Asia and Oceania. * You are purchasing a single tumbled stone hand picked by our family of Witchy spiritualists.
