Rhyolite is an igneous, volcanic rock that is composed of Felsic,
or Silicate minerals such as Silica, Aluminum, Sodium and Potassium.
The material is similar to that of Granite, Pumice and Obsidian but due
to the cooling process when formed, Rhyolite did not form any crystals,
thus changing the texture of the material.

polish. It is a beautiful egg with a good egg shape and a silver sheen on two sides on the black background.

Obsidian is a type of naturally-occurring glass formed as
an extrusive igneous rock. It is produced when felsic lava erupted from a
volcano, cools rapidly through the glass transition temperature and
freezes without sufficient time for Crystal growth. Because of the lack
of Crystal structure, Obsidian blade edges can reach almost molecular
thinness, leading to its ancient use of projectile points (arrow heads),
and its modern use as surgical scalpel blades. |
