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 rainforest. 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 face of this specimen has random yet finely laid out light green with white accents of orbicular nodes and a lone peach node within a muted green jasper background.
The stone is polished to a high luster both front and back. The back is flat ready for mounting.
