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 face of this specimen has random yet finely laid out green and yellow small orbs amongst five larger orbs, one being peach, all with white accents across a deep forest green background.

The stone is cut in a Kite shape with both an upper and lower girdle to facilitate setting the stone. The cabochon is polished to a high vitreous luster.

Photographed under full spectrum LEDs.
