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.

The stone is cut in a puffy heart shape with both an upper and lower girdle to facilitate setting the stone. The stone has a nice yellow irregular orb in the center surrounded by a deep forest green color speckled with muster and light green orbs. The cabochon is polished to a high vitreous luster.
