Earthy and full of character, rhyolite makes a tower that looks nothing like the usual quartz.
This rhyolite point is slim and tall, polished to show the natural markings that make each piece of rhyolite different, and the hand and ruler photos show its scale. The narrower width suits a bookshelf or the corner of a desk where a wider tower would crowd things. It makes a thoughtful gift for someone who decorates in earth tones, or a quiet accent for your own reading corner.
Rhyolite is the volcanic counterpart of granite and the most silica rich volcanic rock, built mainly of quartz and alkali feldspar. The name was coined in 1860 from the Greek rhyax, a stream of lava. As it cools, rhyolite can develop flow layering and small round spherulites, textures that turn into pattern once the stone is cut and polished.
Stone Meaning: Rhyolite is traditionally associated with change and progress.
