Rhyolite 12mm Coin 8-Inch Lodalite typically of brown or blackRhyolite is a volcanic, igneous rock with high silica content. Its name is taken from the Greek word rhyax, meaning a stream of lava. It is chemically identical to Granite, although sometimes mistaken for Jasper. The stone's mossy greens, browns and grays are reminiscent of a rainforest.
