The word rhyolite comes from the Greek word "rhyx" which means streams of lava. Rhyolite is an igneous rock with a high silica content. This gemstone is basically granite, but rhyolite cools from its molten state too quickly for crystals to form so it has a smoother form.
Rhyolite encourages change and creativity. It is said that ryolite can not only resolve feelings of continuous victimization but also increase self-esteem and the capacity to love.
