Rain-forest jasper or Rain-forest Rhyolite is a volcanic rock composed primarily of quartz and other minerals to give it its color. The name Rain-forest jasper was derived from the impressionistic patterns resembling the foliage within a rain-forest. Rain-forest Rhyolite has been very hard to find commercially. It was mined exclusively in Queensland, Australia. There is some suspicion that the deposit has been mined out.
This specimen has a variety of green & muted Lime shades and smaller brownish orange colored orbs.
The stone is polished to a high luster both front and back. The back is flat ready for mounting.
