Rhyolite Cabochons   

Rhyolite is a form of granite. Rhyolite is formed when the minerals which normally make up granite harden above the ground instead of underground. It is rich in the minerals feldspar and quartz, mica and mineral glass.  It has fine grains that cannot be seen with the naked eye.  In the U.S. it is very abundant in California and Oregon. Rhyolite is not rare, but it has some of the most beautiful and unusual patterns and earthy color.
