Rhyolite Gemstone Beads

Rhyolite, an igneous rock, forms from the cooling of molten lava similarly to granite but cools much faster on the surface. This rapid cooling often results in a unique, fine-grained texture that showcases a breathtaking array of patterns and colors in each bead, making them a stunning choice for any artisanal creation.

Facts: Rhyolite was named after the Greek word 'rhyx' which means stream of lava, indicative of its volcanic origin. Historically, Rhyolite was used by ancient civilizations for tool-making and as a decorative stone, appreciated for its diverse color spectrum and striking patterns that range from swirling greens to rich, earthy reds.
