Rhyolite

Rhyolite is an igneous, volcanic extrusive rock, of felsic composition.  Rhyolite can be considered as granite rock, and consequently, outcroppings of it often bear a resemblance to granite. They can also occur as breccias or in volcanic plugs and dikes. Rhyolites that cool too quickly to grow crystals form a natural glass, also called obsidian.  Some rhyolite is highly vesicular pumice.

Rhyolite represents change, variety, and progress.  It lights the fire of creativity within the soul, bringing to fruition the quests upon which one has longed to travel.  It helps one to strengthen both body and mind and to learn how to enjoy the vast potential within the self.  It is an excellent stone for promulgating with humility the concept of and actualization of self-realization.
