Handcrafted Rhyolite Jewelry
Although rhyolite may look like jasper, it is actually an igneous rock (meaning fire) formed from the cooling of lava or magma. Chemically identical to granite, it cooled from a molten state (as hot as 2192*F), too quickly for crystals to form. Rhyolitic magma and lava is thick so pressure builds until a gas explosion in the volcano throws the rock in particles from big chunks to ash. The stone's creams, browns, mossy greens and grays are reminiscent of a rainforest, and it presents interesting spots and banding.
Rhyolite represents variety, change and progress. It is believed to light the fire of creativity within the soul and helps with self-realization and self-worth. It is said to help balance emotions, increases self-respect and the capacity to love. Rhyolite occurs largely in the U.S.A.
